"David is one of our leaders without a doubt. He is a keeper who knows how to maintain his focus and decide a match when you need it. Sometimes he doesn't participate at all and then suddenly he has to act and the save he made in the last action - it was an unbelievable shot and my heart almost stopped, but he kept it out again."
"It was a fabulous save, but we shouldn't have been in that position. I try to stay calm, but we weren't getting the dominance we wanted against ten men. Everyone is suffering and the margins are so tight, but it's good. In March, we are in every competition and we are right up there."
Arsenal secured a 2-1 victory over Chelsea, with William Saliba opening the scoring in the first half. Chelsea equalized through an own goal by Piero Hincapie, but Jurrien Timber restored Arsenal's lead from a Declan Rice corner. Despite Chelsea being reduced to ten men following Pedro Neto's dismissal, the match remained tense. Alejandro Garnacho's powerful stoppage-time shot appeared certain to equalize, but goalkeeper David Raya produced an exceptional full-stretch save to preserve the three points. Manager Mikel Arteta praised Raya's crucial intervention and acknowledged the team's struggle to dominate against ten men, while emphasizing the importance of maintaining focus during tight margins in March.
