Arsenal had some nervy moments in their Premier League victory over Manchester City, with goalkeeper David Raya escaping with a clean sheet after an early scare
Mikel Arteta gave his backing to Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya, flying in the face of earlier comments from Gary Neville.
"I think he was excellent," Arteta told Sky Sports. The way he controlled the ball. How dominant the was and how high he played. I love players with courage and David certainly has big ones. "You are going to have these moments against this team. You have to be direct and managed the emotions and make sure you don't get caught against this team."Raya is still early in his Arsenal spell. The former Blackburn keeper joined on loan from Brentford, sitting on the bench for his first three matches, but the clean sheet against City was his fourth in six outings in all competitions.
While Martinelli was Arsenal's match-winner, the Brazilian insisted it was a team effort. "I am not the man. I think everyone has a part in this victory," he told Sky Sports. "I scored the goal but it was the whole team and the staff and everyone. I am happy and the team is too.
