Arsenal boss, Mikel Arteta has said his  goalkeeper, David Raya, aided the Gunners in their ‘crucial’ 2-0 away win at Wolves on Saturday night.

Arsenal went back to the top of Premier League after goals from Leandro Trossard and Martin Odegaard gave the North London club all three points at stake at Molineux.

Speaking after the hard fought victory,  Arteta said the Spain international was outstanding against Wolves as he kept a clean sheet against the hosts.

Asked how crucial Raya was for Arsenal against Wolves, he said:  “Very, because we didn’t concede anything up to that point. We had some very open situations that would have changed the game for sure.

“David was outstanding in that moment to make the save that we needed and then we took advantage.

“I think he’s been very consistent throughout the whole season. The numbers are proof of that.

“I think the timing of the first goal was really helpful as well. Really happy.”

Raya has now kept 13 clean for the Gunners this season and he is in line for the Premier league’s “Golden Glove” award.
