"David is one of our leaders without a doubt. He is a goalkeeper who knows how to maintain his focus and decide a match when you need it. Sometimes he doesn't participate at all and then suddenly he has to act and the save he made in the last action - it was an unbelievable shot and my heart almost stopped, but he kept it out again."
"It was a fabulous save, but we shouldn't have been in that position. I try to stay calm, but we weren't getting the dominance we wanted against ten men. Everyone is suffering and the margins are so tight, but it's good. In March, we are in every competition and we are right up there."
Arsenal defeated Chelsea 2-1 at Emirates Stadium in a match where all three goals originated from corner kicks.

Manager Mikel Arteta highlighted Raya's leadership qualities and his ability to maintain focus during crucial moments. Arsenal's 16 Premier League corner goals this season rank joint-highest. Raya leads the league with 13 clean sheets this season, continuing his exceptional form.
