David Raya makes outrageous reaction save to deny Ollie Watkins with goal gaping from close range - as fans hail Arsenal star's acrobatic stop as 'world-class' and the 'save of the season'

David Raya made a breathtaking save to deny Ollie Watkins from point-blank range and keep Arsenal on level terms against Aston Villa.

The Spaniard looked down and out when Amadou Onana's deflected shot looped over him as he dived back and bounced off the bar into Watkins' path.

Raya was on the floor time stood still and Watkins hared down on the ball unmarked with most of the goal to aim for.

But the Villa star headed it just within reach and Raya produced a cat-like save to claw the ball away and keep the scores level.
