DAVID RAYA’S GOALKEEPING heroics ensured that Arsenal were only held to a goalless draw at Atalanta in a tough start to their campaign in the revamped Champions League .
Missing Martin Odegaard to a serious ankle injury suffered on international duty with Norway, Arsenal were largely solid but lacked imagination going forward and after having an early spell of dominance never looked like winning. Arsenal were on top in the opening exchanges and only a fantastic double save from Marco Carnesecchi stopped the away side from going ahead in the 13th minute.
It took Atalanta nearly half an hour to get a proper sight of goal and Charles De Ketelaere smashed high and way wide when neatly set up by Retegui on the edge of the area.
