David Raya secured the Premier League Golden Glove for a third consecutive season after Arsenal’s 1\u20130 victory over West Ham United. The disallowed goal and subsequent three points not only moved Arsenal closer to the title but also made Raya the 2025\u201326 Golden Glove winner.<\/p>\n
The 30-year-old finished the campaign with 18 clean sheets from 36 league appearances, a total that guarantees the award with two games still to play. That tally leads the division: Gianluigi Donnarumma sits second with 14, while Jordan Pickford and Dean Henderson each recorded 11 and Djordje Petrovic finished with 10.<\/p>\n
With three matches remaining for Pep Guardiola\u2019s men, Donnarumma cannot close the gap to Raya. The 18 shutouts are Raya\u2019s highest single-season total since he joined Arsenal ahead of the 2023\u201324 season, when he recorded 16 Premier League clean sheets. In the 2024\u201325 season he had 13 shutouts, tying Nottingham Forest\u2019s Matz Sels to top the league that year.<\/p>\n
Those three campaigns at the top of the clean-sheet charts have produced Raya\u2019s hat-trick of Golden Glove awards. Since his Premier League debut in 2021, from his time at Brentford and now Arsenal, Raya has compiled 67 Premier League clean sheets. That total surpasses several leading shot-stoppers over the same period: Alisson on 59, Jordan Pickford 51, Ederson 51, Emiliano Mart\u00ednez 45 and Nick Pope 43.<\/p>\n
Raya\u2019s consistency across multiple seasons, and his league-leading 18 clean sheets this term, underline why he has joined an exclusive group of goalkeepers who have claimed the Golden Glove in three straight seasons: Pepe Reina (2006\u20132008), Joe Hart (2011\u20132013) and Ederson (2020\u20132022).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
