Despite being reduced to ten men before halftime, Raya’s exceptional skills helped the Gunners secure a crucial point against the Premier League champions.

The match unfolded dramatically, with Erling Haaland giving City an early lead, marking his 100th goal for the club.

However, Arsenal turned the tide before the break, thanks to Riccardo Calafiori’s stunning strike and a powerful header from Gabriel.

The situation intensified when Leandro Trossard received a second yellow card for delaying the game, leaving Arsenal to battle with only ten players.

As City pressed for a winner in the second half, Raya emerged as the hero. He delivered a series of outstanding saves, showcasing his shot-stopping ability and commanding presence in the box.

His performance was pivotal in keeping the relentless City attack at bay until the very end, when John Stones finally found the back of the net in the 98th minute.

Following the match, former players showered Raya with praise. Ex-Tottenham defender Gary Stevens emphasized Raya’s dominance in aerial challenges and his sharp reflexes, declaring him one of the best goalkeepers in the world.

Similarly, Lee Sharpe noted Raya’s commanding presence as a key factor in alleviating defensive pressure.

With Arsenal boasting one of the league’s best defensive records, Raya’s contributions have been crucial this season.

As the football world reflects on his remarkable form, it’s clear that David Raya is not just a keeper; he’s becoming a cornerstone of Arsenal’s ambitions.
