“We could be easily defeated If Arteta play him against Real Madrid”: Arsenal legend Ian Wright names ONE player who must not start for Arsenal against Real Madrid after horror show against Everton

Ian Wright has criticised David Raya for his penalty-saving tactic after Arsenal’s 1-1 draw with Everton on Saturday.

Leandro Trossard put Mikel Arteta’s side ahead at Goodison Park but Iliman Ndiaye levelled the score from the penalty spot shortly after half time.

Raya has already been accused of diving too early for penalties after he went the wrong way multiple times during Arsenal’s shootout defeat to Manchester United in the FA Cup in January.

And Wright believes Raya is making is too easy for the penalty taker after Ndiaye also sent the Arsenal goalkeeper the wrong way to pull Everton level at Goodison Park.

‘I saw something the other day with David Raya on the penalties,’ Wright told Premier League Productions.

‘He seems to be taking this massive leap to one side, which is almost giving the penalty taker so much time to say, ‘well, he’s definitely going that way’.

‘I’ve seen penalties being taken against him recently where he’s continually going the wrong way.

‘I think his form in trying to save them, I think it’s wrong, simply because he’s going so far, he’s making such a commitment to one side.

‘He’s giving it up, especially if you’ve got a longer run up, you can actually see him a yard away from the ball, he’s gone, he’s [Ndiaye] not kicked the ball yet and David Raya has taken two steps to his right.

‘You’re going to see that when you’re running up, you can see he’s committed to one side.

‘That’s the only thing I look at and worries me with the penalties being taken against us at the minute.’
