David Raya has started this season as impressively as he finished the last, earning the Save of the Month award for August.
The goalkeeper, who was in stellar form after his move to the Emirates last term, led the Premier League with the most clean sheets. His performances have validated Arsenal’s decision to make him their first-choice keeper over the also impressive Aaron Ramsdale.
With Ramsdale now having left the club, Raya continues to shine, adding another Save of the Month accolade to his achievements.
According to Arsenal Media, Raya won the award for his remarkable save against Ollie Watkins during the Gunners’ match against Aston Villa. After being beaten by the initial shot, which struck the bar, Raya reacted with lightning reflexes to deny Watkins on the rebound.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Raya has again proven to be the best choice for us and the decision to sign him is another reason why we trust Mikel Arteta’s judgement.
The Spaniard has been in superb form for us and he will continue to get better on our books.
But this is just the start of the season and he must not get carried away because there are tougher matches ahead of us to face.

He has quietly comes into his own, the gaffer maybe slowly looking like a genius on this one.
He is 29 next week, peak age for a keeper. He has come up the hard way at Blackburn and Brentford but it is his time to shine now. He is indisputably first choice at Arsenal and also has a huge opportunity with Spain as Unai Simon is injured.
Well deserved, Raya.
