Watch: Arsenal's Raya makes wild double save to deny Atalanta
David Raya was pivotal in helping Arsenal escape Italy with a 0-0 draw, producing a pair of stunning saves to deny hosts Atalanta in Thursday's Champions League clash.
After Thomas Partey clumsily conceded a penalty, Raya came up with a double save in the 51st minute to preserve the goalless draw.
The Spanish goalkeeper followed his initial stop on Mateo Retegui's penalty with another diving effort, stretching out just enough to push the ball away to safety.
