David Raya makes incredible double save from Atalanta penalty as Arsenal goalkeeper keeps scores level in Champions League opener

David Raya produced two moments of brilliance to stop Arsenal going behind in their Champions League opener against Atalanta on Thursday night.

The first half ended 0-0 with little in the way of chances for either side in Bergamo.

However, the game burst to life shortly after the break as Thomas Partey brought down Ederson in the area with the referee pointing to the spot.

A VAR check confirmed the spot-kick and Mateo Retegui was the man to step up and take it.

And Raya then produced one of the finest double saves you are ever likely to see to keep the scores level.

The keeper got down well to his right to keep Retegui’s well-hit effort out but the ball bounced back out into the path of the forward.

The Atalanta looked destined to head home the rebound but Raya somehow scrambled across his line and dived to palm the ball to safety.
