David ‘Cat’ Raya is Arsenal hero after remarkable double save from penalty

Atalanta 0–0 Arsenal
Champions League report
 
by Layth Yousif in Bergamo

ARSENAL boss Mikel Arteta hailed keeper David Raya’s remarkable double save from a penalty that earned a hard-fought Champions League point at Atalanta.

Raya proved to be the Gunners spot-kick saving hero after denying Mateo Retegui with a superb double block on Thursday evening in northern Italy.

In the city of Bergamo's passionately atmospheric cauldron that was Atalanta’s Stadio Atleti Azzurri d'Italia, the Gunners goalkeeper kept out a second half effort from the spot by Atalanta’s No23, before following up with an even better athletic block moments later from Retegui’s headed rebound, to deny the home side victory.
