Arsenal put on a sensational display as they demolished Sheffield United 6-0 in a commanding away victory in the Premier League. Mikel Arteta’s team dominated the match from start to finish, with Martin Odegaard scoring an early goal to set the tone. The Gunners were relentless, recording 10 shots on target and could have scored even more. On the defensive end, Arsenal showcased their prowess yet again, denying Sheffield United any shot on target throughout the game.

David Raya, Arsenal’s goalkeeper, has been a standout performer this season. Despite initially starting the season on the bench, Raya has now accumulated the most clean sheets among Premier League goalkeepers, with nine in total. Five of these clean sheets came in away matches against Everton, Bournemouth, West Ham, Burnley, and Sheffield United. Raya’s impressive performances have solidified Arsenal’s defensive record, which currently stands as the best in the league.

Raya’s achievement puts him ahead of Jordan Pickford with eight clean sheets and Liverpool’s Alisson Becker with seven. It is a testament to Arsenal’s defensive improvement that they now have a strong contender for the Premier League Golden Glove award, a title given to the goalkeeper with the most clean sheets in a single season. The last time an Arsenal goalkeeper won the award was Petr Cech in the 2015-16 season.

With Arsenal’s defense thriving and players like William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes excelling, Raya aims to add more clean sheets to his tally and potentially claim the Golden Glove before his permanent transfer from Brentford is finalized for £27 million. Raya’s stellar performances have silenced his critics and demonstrated his importance in Arsenal’s high-pressing system, surpassing the popular Aaron Ramsdale in the pecking order.
