If Wednesday's Champions League match was 'keeper David Ospina's audition to win the starting job at Arsenal, it's fair to assume he got the part.

Ospina made his first Champions League appearance with the club in the second half when Wojciech Szczesny was shown a red card for fouling Burak Yilmaz in the Arsenal box. He went on to make several important saves to deny Galatasaray late in the Group D encounter.

Even though his first taste of action was conceding the penalty that followed Szczesny's foul, Ospina helped fans forget about the goal minutes later when he lunged across the goal-line to make an acrobatic stop on Yilmaz.
