Arsenal were left red-faced after Mykhailo Mudryk scored against the side following a howler for David Raya.

The Spaniard, who is being selected ahead of Aaron Ramsdale, was caught stranded off his line as the Ukrainian looped the ball over his head from distance to put Chelsea ahead.

Arsenal had famously tried to bring in the attacker before Chelsea pipped them to the race in the January window - as they went two goals down at Stamford Bridge.

Mudryk has struggled during his time at Stamford Bridge - but he finally got off the mark with his attempt from outside the box, albeit the strike initially looked like a cross.

The mistake from Raya - as well as his calamity in the second half where he gave the ball away in his own half.

On commentary duty, Gary Neville provided his thoughts on Raya coming in for Ramsdale.

He told Sky Sports: "Mikel Arteta has created that - I never thought it would work. And now it's put Raya under a lot of pressure."

And a fair few supporters have agreed - with many taking to social media to slam Arteta’s decision, although Ramsdale was out the squad on Saturday, with his wife giving birth.

Get Raya the fuck out of here. There is NOTHING anyone can tell me to convince me he is better than Ramsdale.

Only in that goal because he and Arteta are from the same country. Fucking poor

David Raya will end up costing Arsenal the title this season. 🤷‍♂️. There is no way he’s an upgrade on Ramsdale.
