3 positives & negatives from Arsenal's opening weekend win over Wolves

Positive #2: Raya instils confidence

"He only looks good because of the defence in front of him," was a phrase so often used to try and bring David Raya down last season - despite the fact that he kept a Premier League Golden Glove-winning 16 clean sheets.
