The Spaniard got down low to his right to keep out MATEO RETEGUI’sspot-kick and somehow got across his goal to scoop the striker’s follow-up header off the line.

That was the one real moment of drama and quality in an otherwise forgettable match in Bergamo.

Chances were at a premium, with RAYA not needing to pull off any other saves outside of that two-second spell.

However, Arsenal now move on to Sunday’s huge match with title rivals City, as they look to finally beat PEP GUARDIOLA’sside to the Premier League trophy.
