‘Stunning’: Chris Sutton blown away by what Arsenal star did vs Shakhtar last night | OneFootball

Arsenal picked up their second victory of the Champions League campaign by beating Shakhtar Donetsk at the Emirates Stadium last night.

An own goal from Dmytro Riznyk sealed the win for the Gunners, but they could have easily won the game by a bigger margin in the end.

The Gunners were unconvincing with their finishing in the box and Leandro Trossard also squandered a glorious chance from the penalty spot.

Arsenal could have shared the spoils in stoppage time, but goalkeeper David Raya came up with a splendid diving save towards his left.

Shakhtar forward Pedrinho unleashed a powerful strike from 30 yards out, but Raya denied him a dramatic equaliser with his left arm.

Raya has been outstanding between the sticks for the Gunners and BBC Sport pundit Chris Sutton was obviously impressed by his superb stop.

He said: “That’s a stunning save from David Raya. Pedrinho was 30 yards out and I was thinking, ‘he can’t score from there’.”

Raya had only 24 touches in the game with 14 passes and three long balls. It was a relatively comfortable night for him until his stupendous save.

Arsenal have picked up seven points from their opening three league games in the Champions League. They are presently fourth in the table.

The Gunners will be back in Premier League action against leaders Liverpool at home on Sunday.

It could be a huge title decider, considering the Gunners are already four points behind the Reds and can’t afford to slip up further this weekend.

Manager Mikel Arteta has a big selection headache on his hands. He has to pick a different centre-back with William Saliba suspended for the clash.

Riccardo Calafiori suffered a possible knee injury yesterday and there could be a change at left-back too.
