Arsenal's Title Dream Hangs on Raya's Save

David Raya made a crucial one-on-one save that kept Arsenal’s Premier League title hopes alive. The goalkeeper stopped Mateus Fernandes from scoring in a tight match against West Ham. Arsenal won 1-0 at the London Stadium. The win was vital for their bid to win a first league title in 22 years. With the score still 0-0, Fernandes ran toward goal after a quick exchange with Pablo. He had only Raya to beat. The Arsenal keeper held his nerve and made a technically perfect save. The moment gave Arsenal the platform to score late and secure three points. Earlier this week, Bruno Fernandes was named Football Writers’ Association player of the year. Many thought Declan Rice or Raya deserved the award. Both have been key for Arsenal this season. But on Saturday, Raya showed why he may have been the more deserving choice. His save kept Arsenal’s double dream alive. The team is still fighting for both the Premier League and Champions League titles.
