A huge decision from Mikel Arteta.
Aaron Ramsdale had started the Gunners previous four matches this season and done little wrong to suggest he was in danger of losing his place.
Raya joined the north London club, initially on loan, from Brentford during the final week of the summer transfer window and has been forced to sit on the substitutes’ bench for the victories over Crystal Palace and Manchester United, as well as the draw against Fulham. ‘I think I mentioned it that we wanted to build a squad with two quality players in each position, with different characteristics, and we have got that now,’ said Arteta, explaining his decision before the match.David Raya and Aaron Ramsdale appeared to be in good spirits ahead of Arsenal’s game against Everton
‘And we have the same with other players we have rotated and there will be a lot of game-time in the next few weeks.’ The Spain international’s inclusion at the expense of Ramsdale was far from the only significant decision made by Arteta as he attempted to select a team capable of winning at Goodison Park for the first time since 2018.
