David Raya showcased his goalkeeping excellence in March 2025, earning the Premier League's Save of the Month award for his brilliant save against Manchester United.
During stoppage time in a closely contested match tied at 1-1, Raya displayed extraordinary agility by blocking Bruno Fernandes' shot from close range and swiftly recovering to prevent the rebound from crossing the goal line. This remarkable effort not only secured his team a crucial point but also demonstrated his composure and skill under pressure.
Raya's save was selected from a competitive shortlist that included outstanding contributions by Ederson of Manchester City, Dean Henderson of Crystal Palace, Mads Hermansen of Chelsea, Alphonse Areola of West Ham, and another save by Raya himself. The quality of all nominees emphasized the high standards of goalkeeping in the league.
In addition to this award-winning moment, Raya had a solid month with Arsenal, playing in all their Premier League fixtures and maintaining clean sheets in two matches. His consistent performances have contributed significantly to Arsenal's defensive resilience and have placed him among the top goalkeepers in the league, with a total of 11 clean sheets this season.
This marks Raya's second Save of the Month award of the campaign, following his win in August 2024, further cementing his reputation as one of the most reliable and skilled goalkeepers in the Premier League. His contributions continue to play a vital role in Arsenal's ambitions for the season.
