David Raya did something no Arsenal player has done for 30 years in win over Man Utd

Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya achieved a feat that no other Gunners player has reached for over 30 years in Sunday's 1-0 win over Manchester United.

Mikel Arteta's side went back to the top of the Premier League table with the crucial victory at Old Trafford.

Leandro Trossard scored the only goal of the game in the first half of proceedings, with Arsenal going on to control the second half to see out the victory.

They will now watch Manchester City's clash at Tottenham on Tuesday to determine whether their fate is in their own hands heading into the final day of the season. Should City fail to beat Spurs in their game in hand, Arsenal will be top of the table before gameweek 38.

While the margin of scoreline maybe suggests otherwise, it was a relatively comfortable afternoon for the Gunners at the home of their fierce rivals.

Erik ten Hag's side registered just two shots on target over the 90 minutes, with Raya having a reasonably quiet match before getting booked for time wasting late on.

After the full-time whistle blew, the Spaniard matched David Seaman in becoming the second Arsenal goalkeeper to keep a clean sheet away from home against Manchester City and Manchester United in a single season, as per OptaJoe.

Seaman achieved that particular statistic during the 1992/93 campaign, and while City were largely a mid-table Premier League side throughout much of the 15 years that followed - they even dropped down to the then Second Division in 1998 before consecutive promotions - their dominance since then has meant few goalkeepers have registered clean sheets against them.

Raya has kept 16 clean sheets for the Gunners this season, and has proven his worth to manager Mikel Arteta after signing on loan from Brentford in the summer.

Arsenal have an option to buy the goalkeeper permanently for £27 million once the summer transfer window opens, and are expected to trigger that option after the Spaniard's impressive season between the sticks.
