Overview
- Arsenal beat Brighton 2-1 at the Emirates to reclaim first place in the Premier League.
- Late in the second half, goalkeeper David Raya tipped Yankuba Minteh’s curling shot over the bar to prevent an equaliser.
- Mikel Arteta called the stop “sensational,” while Alan Shearer said it was “one of the best you’ll see all season.”
- Wayne Rooney framed the intervention as the kind that wins titles, and Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler praised Raya as one of the world’s best.
- Reports underscore Raya’s season-long value — league-leading clean sheets, sharp distribution and sweeping — as he remains the constant behind an injury-rotated back line.
