David Raya faced a challenging moment during the Luton match, enduring two critical errors within a short span, causing frustration among Arsenal supporters. Initially, he struggled to secure a corner, allowing Elijah Adebayo to score. Shortly after, Ross Barkley attempted a shot that found its way past Raya, leading to further disappointment.
The backlash on social media was swift, with Arsenal fans expressing their frustration and disappointment in Raya’s performance. Some felt this was jeopardizing their chance to widen their lead in the Premier League.
Criticism mounted, with fans labelling Raya as “rubbish” and a “liability.” Many questioned the decision to prioritize Raya over Aaron Ramsdale, perceiving no substantial upgrade in the goalkeeper position.
Manager Arteta, however, has maintained that there isn’t a designated No. 1 goalkeeper this season, alternating between Ramsdale and Raya. Yet, recent games have seen Raya as Arteta’s preferred choice.
Arsenal’s relief arrived late in the game when Declan Rice’s own goal granted them a last-minute advantage, securing a crucial win that extended their lead at the top of the league table.
Luton lead for the first time in the match 🙌
