Analysis of Arsenal's goalless Champions League opener in Italy at Atalanta - a point that may please both sides

David Raya came to Arsenal's rescue in the Champions League on Thursday with a double save from a penalty that was celebrated by his teammates as wildly as a goal being scored. It preserved a 0-0 draw with Atalanta in the opening round of matches in the revamped tournament,

During that wait Raya went over to talk to Arsenal’s goalkeeping coach, his fellow Spaniard Inaki Cana, who he also worked with at Brentford. Whatever they discussed worked. The Spaniard got down low to his right to keep out Mateo Retegui's spot-kick and somehow got across his goal to scoop the striker's follow-up header off the line.

David Raya was the hero for Arsenal as his double save to deny Marco Retegui's penalty and rebound helped the Gunners avoid defeat away to Atalanta in the Champions League.
