Arsenal have David Raya to thank for the win at Villa Park. The Spaniard kept his second clean sheet of the season in as many games and played a major part in the victory.

He made three saves throughout the match, including a seemingly impossible point-blank stop to deny Ollie Watkins the opener early in the second half. Raya made six recoveries throughout the game and played 21 accurate passes.

With his sensational performance against Villa, Raya showed every team in the league that they will have to do very well to get the better of him this season.
