Former Manchester United defender and Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville has praised Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya for his exceptional performance in the Gunners' 2-0 win over Aston Villa on Saturday, according to report. Raya's incredible goalkeeping skills and reaction time prevented Villa from taking the lead in the 54th minute, and Neville described his saves as the "moment of the match".
Raya's heroics came when he kept out two attempts in quick succession from Amadou Onana and Ollie Watkins. Neville was impressed by Raya's ability to "come from nowhere" and make the saves, stating: "How Raya reacts, wow. He comes from nowhere."
Fellow journalist Nick Wright also praised Raya's brilliance, saying: "Brilliant from Raya to get back up and deny Watkins from the rebound. The Villa striker can't quite believe he's not scored. Neither can the home fans around us in the press box."
Neville concluded that Raya's save was the turning point in the match, saying: "The moment of the match was the save from Raya." Leandro Trossard and Thomas Partey went on to score for Arsenal, securing their second consecutive victory in the Premier League.
Raya's performance demonstrates his importance to Mikel Arteta's team, and Neville's praise highlights the significance of his saves in the match. As Arsenal continues to push for success in the Premier League, Raya's goalkeeping skills will be crucial in their quest for victory.
