David Raya tells Aaron Ramsdale he will have to 'fight' to win back his Arsenal No 1 shirt after the Spaniard keeps two clean sheets in two since Mikel Arteta's ruthless rotation

Upon exiting the Emirates after a triumphant return to the Champions League, the separate paths taken by goalkeepers David Raya and Aaron Ramsdale almost told a story of its own.

Raya, Mikel Arteta’s chosen one, for now anyway, turned right, towards the waiting press following consecutive clean-sheets in his second start since signing from Brentford. A throng of cameras and lights followed.

Ramsdale, exiting 10 minutes later, turned left, shunning any eyes looking towards his direction.

You could hardly blame him. After being dropped against Everton on Sunday, the expectation was that the England international would return on Wednesday.
