Raya nominated for PL Save of the Month - twice!

Both of David Raya’s superb saves in our wins against Wolves and Aston Villa have been nominated for the Premier League’s Save of the Month award.

Our shot-stopper’s heroics in goal have seen him included on the shortlist for the Player of the Month prize alongside Bukayo Saka, but the pair of sensational stops to deny Jorgen Strand Larsen and Ollie Watkins could also scoop an award after being deemed two of the best six saves from the first month of the campaign.

David’s first contender came on the opening day against Wolves when Strand Larsen’s header seemed destined to find the net, but our Spaniard managed to shift his body weight and get a glove on the effort to keep his sheet clean.
