Mikel Arteta hits back at Gary Neville's criticism of Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya - after Sky Sports pundit labelled the Spaniard a 'nervous wreck' during Gunners' 1-0 win over Man City

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has hit back at Gary Neville's criticism of goalkeeper David Raya following their 1-0 win over Manchester City.

On Sunday afternoon, the Gunners triumphed over last season's Treble winners thanks to a late Gabriel Martinelli goal, which deflected off the face of City's Nathan Ake.

However, a big talking point from the Emirates was Arteta's decision to, once again, start summer signing David Raya in goal ahead of Aaron Ramsdale.

Ramsdale, 25, had been Arsenal's first-choice goalkeeper last term but has spent a large portion of this campaign watching on from the sidelines - despite some shaky moments from Raya.
