David Raya brought up 100 Premier League appearances in Arsenal colours with a clean sheet in our 1-0 win against Brighton & Hove Albion at AMEX Stadium.<\/p>\n

The Spanish stopper joined us in August 2023, going on to pick up back-to-back Golden Glove awards as a reliable figure between the sticks in N5. <\/p>\n

To mark his century of PL caps in our colours, we’ve taken a dive into the details to see how David stacks up against fellow centurions!<\/p>\n

\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n

In turning out at Brighton, David became the 74th player to make 100 Premier League appearances for us, the seventh goalkeeper to achieve the feat.<\/p>\n

David kicked things off as he meant to go on, keeping a clean sheet in a 1-0 win over Everton in September 2023. <\/p>\n

In his first 100 appearances in the Premier League, David has kept 43 clean sheets, more than any other Arsenal goalkeeper in the same time frame.<\/p>\n

Winning from the back<\/h2>\n
\n
\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n

David has enjoyed being part of plenty of winning teams within his first 100 PL games as our stopper, producing a string of fine saves to ensure we secured the three points.<\/p>\n

No Arsenal goalkeeper has won more games in their opening 100 matches than the former Brentford man, with the latest hard earned victory on the south coast against the Seagulls.<\/p>\n

No goalkeeper has won more matches since David made his debut for us at Goodison Park.<\/p>\n

Not only that, but David towers over the rest of his peers when it comes to shutting out opponents. No goalkeeper has kept more clean sheets or had a better minute\/goal conceeded ratio than our number 1.<\/p>\n

As well as helping us produce a host of clean sheets, David has shown off his ability to pluck dangerous crosses and corners out of the air.<\/p>\n

In his first 100 appearances, David has made more catches than all but one goalkeeper, plucking 115 crosses out of the sky to help us reset.<\/p>\n
