Pundit and former Liverpool star Jamie Carragher has opened up and claimed David Raya could be one of the ‘biggest reasons’ Arsenal win the Premier League, and and Gianluigi Donnarumma has surprised him by blinking first.
Raya has played a key role in *ARSENAL*’s crucial win, making a number of saves while the score was still goalless before two late goals sealed the three points for Arteta’s side.
Meanwhile, Donnarumma has made a few mistakes in the last few weeks that have cost Man City vital points: ‘At the start of the season, I didn’t think there was any way City could win the league because of the goalkeeping situation,’ Carragher said.
‘No one wins a Premier League without an absolutely great goalkeeper and there’s no doubt about Donnarumma, a Champions League winner who won the Euros with Italy.
‘They’ve got a goalkeeper who can win the league. before they signed him, there was no way they could win a league without signing someone of that calibre.’
‘Absolutely and I think most of us favoured Donnarumma didn’t we because of his experience and the fact he’s been there before. But there’s no doubt that Donnarumma blinked first. He made an error, corners can be difficult for goalkeepers now but that wasn’t really the case here.
‘He wasn’t knocked out of the way or blocked, it was just really poor from the goalkeeper, he just gets it wrong and misjudges the flight of the ball.
‘That was the goal that brought it back to 1-1 and Man City couldn’t go on to get that winning goal.’
Carragher added: ‘Listen, we think Arsenal are going to go on to win the Premier League.
‘If they do, he [Raya] has been one of the biggest reasons why. Not just this season, but the actual signing and changing Aaron Ramsdale for him. That save when the game was 0-0, it was absolutely brilliant goalkeeping and kept the score goalless and we all know what happened at the end of the game.’
