ARSENAL fans are thinking of ways David Raya can entertain himself after seeing the ONE he had to save all month.
The Spanish stopper has had a relaxing month in the league as his defence continues to dominate matches.
The Gunners cruised to wins and clean sheets against West Ham, Fulham and Crystal Palace in October.
Absurdly, they only allowed ONE shot on target in that span – and even that chance has caused controversy for being labelled as such.
The Premier League tweeted the one attempt, which came in the last of the three fixtures, Arsenal‘s 1-0 victory over visiting Palace.
In the 70th minute of the contest, former Arsenal man Eddie Nketiah rose to meet a cross in the box before attempting to guide it past the onrushing Raya.

The English forward connected with the delivery, but at almost the same moment, Raya came to claim the ball and inadvertently pushed it away from goal.
One fan commented: “Raya could’ve brought a book to read all month.”
But other fans were upset that it was even registered as a shot on target at all.
The decision even cost the club a chance to equal a Premier League record.

The current record for games without conceding a shot on target in the Prem stands at three, reached by Manchester City in 2014.
One fan added: “Arsenal Faced ZERO shots on target in October! This ain’t no shot let alone on target.”
A third fan sarcastically joked: “Is the ‘shot’ in the room with us rn?”
Outside of their impressive defensive record in the league in October, Arsenal also recorded wins and clean sheets in their two Champions League games that month.
They defeated Olympiacos 2-0 on the 1st before thrashing Atletico Madrid 4-0 at the Emirates three weeks later.
