Declan Rice praised goalkeeper David Raya for 'moving to the next level' following his remarkable double save in Arsenal's goalless draw against Atalanta.
The Gunners earned a point in their first Champions League match thanks to the exploits of their No. 1 player.
Raya judged correctly to save Mateo Retegui's penalty, then leapt back to his feet
Arsenal had several chances to win, but Gabriel Martinelli missed the best of them.
But Rice pointed to Raya’s heroics and another resolute performance from William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes
Raya has made a string of extraordinary saves this season, denying Ollie Watkins in similar fashion at Villa Park having made a hugely important stop
Arsenal have conceded just one goal in their opening five matches of the season with their centre-half partnership also playing a huge role.
‘The two centre-backs, I can’t speak highly enough of them and the goalkeeper. He has gone to a next level, unbelievable,’ Rice told TNT Sports.
