Arsenal continued to consolidate the top spot with a hard-fought victory over Chelsea, thanks to two goals from Saliba and Jurrien Timber.
In the second half, Chelsea only played with 10 players when Pedro Neto received a red card in the 70th minute. However, they almost got one point after Alejandro Garnacho's shot at the end of the match.
Spanish international goalkeeper Raya made an excellent save with a full-range dive to block the shot from the former Man United winger, thereby ensuring Arsenal won all three points.
David is definitely one of our leaders. He is a goalkeeper who knows how to stay focused and decide the match when necessary.
Sometimes he didn't participate in any play, then suddenly he had to act and the save he made in the last situation - it was an unbelievable shot and my heart almost stopped beating, but he saved it successfully.
That was a great save, but we shouldn't have fallen into that situation. I tried to stay calm, but we couldn't control the game when facing 10 Chelsea players," coach Mikel Arteta said.
After losing the 2-0 lead and being held to a 2-2 draw by the bottom team Wolves 10 days ago, the result brought an advantage to Man City in the championship race, Arsenal returned strongly and won in the London derbies against Tottenham and Chelsea.
Coach Arteta believes that the team's reaction is evidence of the possibility of success at the highest level. In the next round, Arsenal will be guests at Brighton's stadium and coach Arteta said that midfielder Declan Rice will have to undergo a fitness test after requesting a substitution in the match against Chelsea.
Declan has requested a substitution, so he needs to be checked before the match against Brighton. He feels unwell," Arteta said.
