Atalanta 0-0 Arsenal: 3 takeaways as David Raya saves Gunners again

Arsenal claimed a gutsy 0-0 draw away at Atalanta with David Raya being a big reason why.

It wasn't pretty, and it wasn't easy on the eye, but Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will be somewhat pleased to escape Bergamo with a point to get the Gunners' Champions League campaign off to an okay start.

With the Gunners playing Manchester City at the weekend, Arteta was all gas, no brakes and his team can consider themselves fortunate to come away with anything against Atalanta.

The story of the game was David Raya's penalty save and his even better follow-up to deny Mateo Retegui from the spot.

Gabriel Martinelli had a couple of golden chances to give Arsenal the lead but couldn't convert and in truth, the Gunners were lucky not to be beaten on what was a poor night.

Here are three takeaways from the draw with Atalanta.

1. David Raya... how?

This isn't the first time Raya has defied the laws of physics and produced a save that we simply can't get our heads around, but the Spainiard did it again.

His double save from Mateo Retegui was a thing of beauty and was the only positive thing on a yuck night for the visitors.

He's becoming a colossus in goal.
