David, who became the 1^st choice as the goalkeeper for the North London side and replaced Aaron Ramsdale this campaign, made mistakes for Elijah Adebayo’s and Ross Barkley’s goals in the 2^nd half. His team was close to losing points against the newly promoted side before Declan Rice scored the winning goal in the last possible moment in extra time.

“If you look at Raya’s form and how he has played since joining our club, it’s fantastic,” Arteta claimed.

“I can count on 3 impressive goalkeepers, and I’m really happy. I have impressive attackers. Some did not play each game, but there’s no questions about that.”
