Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya was the hero in the Champions League on Wednesday night as he produced two stunning stops to keep Atalanta at bay in the 0-0 draw

It was largely a dull affair as Arsenal failed to break through Atalanta’s stubborn defence. In the second half, with 48 minutes on the clock, the hosts were awarded a penalty after Thomas Partey fouled Ederson inside the 18-yard box. Mateo Retegui stepped up but saw both his penalty and rebound brilliantly saved by David Raya.

That may be more of an issue for this new Champions League than Mikel Arteta, who seemed content enough to come from Atalanta with a 0-0 draw and an opening point. That was largely thanks to both the intelligence and instinct of David Raya.
