Raya: ‘That’s where I hit rock bottom’
David Raya has opened up on the lowest point of his Arsenal career in an honest interview with former England goalkeeper Ben Foster.
Raya, 29, has been one of the Premier League’s top shot-stoppers since his move to North London, winning consecutive Golden Glove awards in between the sticks at the Emirates Stadium.
But the Spaniard revealed that it hasn’t always been easy, explaining that a poor game against Luton Town last season made him hit “rock bottom”.
Even though Arsenal won the game 4-3, thanks to a late Declan Rice header, Raya was left feeling that his performance was the worst of his career – shipping three goals against the newly promoted outfit.
He told Fozcast: “It was a turning point against Luton. That game was one of the worst games I ever played and that’s where I hit rock bottom.
“From there, the only way was up with changing my habits and trying to change my mindset.
“From that game, I said, ‘Listen, this is not me.’ I think there’s been a massive change from there.”
