Arsenal in 'survival' mode as 'sensational' Raya save keeps them top

The Gunners moved to 12th place in the league table, but still cling to a Champions League spot thanks to their strong run of form this season. However, with several big-name teams still chasing points from elsewhere in the division, Mikel Arteta’s men must now focus on staying ahead of the pack rather than pushing for an automatic top-four finish. The 26-year-old goalkeeper made a crucial stop from Joao Félix just before halftime, as Arsenal began to tire under the pressure of a packed Emirates Stadium. The visitors pushed hard for the equalizer after the break, but Raya’s heroics ensured his team held on for a 0-0 draw. “We had our chances, but you’ve got to give credit to their goalkeeper,” said Wolves manager Bruno Lage. “David made some fantastic saves when it mattered most. We’re disappointed not to have taken something from the game.” Arteta praised Raya’s performance, saying: “He was absolutely phenomenal in the second half. His reflexes and positioning were top-notch. We knew they’d throw everything at us, but he was equal to every challenge.”
