David Raya is an incredible keeper and has proved that on numerous occasions. However, that display of his in the penalty shootout against Manchester United on Sunday will go down in history as probably one of the worst penalty performances ever.The Spanish custodian, of course, is not the only responsible for the FA Cup exit. His teammates are to blame for not winning the game in the regular time, especially Martin Odegaard, whose effort from the spot was saved by Raya’s mesmerizing counterpart Altay Bayindir.Brutal Bruno and hero Bayindir crush Arsenal in an iconic FA Cup skirmish!Still, it needs to be said that Arsenal’s first-choice keeper was below par in the penalty contest. Not only he failed to deny at least a single effort, but Raya was nowhere near a save, guessing it wrong on every occasion.##NAJAVA_MECA_8624553##That display of his caused an avalanche of mockery on social media, as Manchester United fans – but not just them – made fun of Raya’s shootout outing.Poor man…I am crying!!! 😭😭😭 He was playing with a time delay pic.twitter.com/nDx3hS89Q7— Louie (@UTD_Louie) January 12, 2025 David Raya is like that mate on Pro Clubs who begs to go in goal… and you instantly regret saying yes… 😂🤣 pic.twitter.com/6CZLML966c— Footy Humour (@FootyHumour) January 13, 2025 Arsenal-supporting bosses might be in a bad mood today, so tread carefully. If you make a small mistake, they may overreact—not because of your error, but because Raya’s dives is still on their mind. pic.twitter.com/6TDxKdo5nJ— Ole Teya (@TeyaKevin) January 13, 2025 Raya is killing me bro, mf is jumping everywhere😭— Trey (@UTDTrey) January 12, 2025 A penalty is always worth 0.77(xG)……except when the goalkeeper is halfway to the corner flag before the ball is kicked. pic.twitter.com/LHmPsaQQR1— The xG Philosophy (@xGPhilosophy) January 12, 2025
