Arsenal’s David Raya is now certain to win the Premier League’s Golden Glove.
This comes after Luton striker, Elijah Adebayo, scored against Raya’s nearest rival Jordan Pickford.
Raya has kept 14 clean sheets in 29 league appearances for Arsenal this season, conceding only 23 goals.
Everton’s Pickford, his nearest rival, had to prevent Luton from scoring at Kenilworth Road in order to stand a chance of winning the award outright.
Pickford boasted a record of 12 clean sheets with three games remaining prior to kick-off. But he could not prevent Adebayo cancelling out Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s opener, meaning Raya has officially won the award for the most clean sheets in 2023/24.
Mikel Arteta’s gamble to replace Aaron Ramsdale with Raya after bringing in the Spaniard on loan from Brentford last summer has certainly paid off.
While the 28-year-old stopper has made a few mistakes, including for Cristian Romero’s goal in last weekend’s 3-2 win over Tottenham, he has proven his worth in all areas and looks certain to have his move to the Emirates made permanent.
