Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya has done it again—clinching his third consecutive Premier League Golden Glove award after racking up an unbeatable 18 clean sheets this season.

The Spanish shot-stopper reached the milestone during Arsenal's hard-fought 1-0 victory over West Ham, a result that not only kept the Gunners' title hopes alive but also showcased Raya's world-class form. With several crucial saves, he locked down yet another shutout, leaving no doubt about his status as the Premier League's top goalkeeper.

Across the 2025/26 campaign, Raya has kept 18 clean sheets in 36 league appearances—more than any other team in the competition and any individual goalkeeper. With just three matches left to play, no one can catch him in the Golden Glove race.

His closest challenger, Manchester City's Gianluigi Donnarumma, sits on 14 clean sheets with only three games remaining. That gap guarantees Raya will finish top, cementing his dominance between the posts.

Overall, the Arsenal No. 1 has recorded 27 clean sheets in 49 appearances across all competitions this season, a testament to his incredible consistency and reliability.

This latest Golden Glove adds to an impressive collection. Raya first won the award in 2023/24 with 14 clean sheets in his debut season after joining from Brentford. He followed that up by sharing the prize in 2024/25 with Nottingham Forest's Matz Sels. Now, he's claimed it outright for a third straight year.

With this achievement, Raya joins an elite group of goalkeepers who have won the Premier League Golden Glove in three consecutive seasons: Pepe Reina (2006–2008), Joe Hart (2011–2013), and Ederson (2020–2022). He's now just one Golden Glove away from matching the all-time record of four wins, currently shared by Petr Cech and Joe Hart.

But beyond the stats, Raya's performance against West Ham was pivotal in the bigger picture. The clean sheet kept Arsenal in pole position in the title race, proving that great goalkeeping is often the foundation of championship success.
