Arsenal goalkeeper Neto was heavily criticized for his error that led to Girona's opening goal in their Champions League match. Despite Arsenal's recovery to take a 2-1 lead, Neto's mistake raised concerns about Arsenal's goalkeeping depth, especially with David Raya injured.
Arsenal goalkeeper Neto was heavily criticised after his error helped Girona’s opening goal in their Champions League clash, by Tim Sherwood.
However, Neto—who stepped in for the injured David Raya—was at fault for Girona’s early goal, gifting the Spanish side the lead in the 28th minute. He continued, “Surely he’s got to be offside? He looks like he’s offside to me, he comes from the wide area, he comes inside, outside of Partey, Neto ends up being 25 yards out from goal!”“I have no idea why, and he makes the mind up of Danjuma who hits it first time, just whips it round him, it’s an easy finish once the goalkeeper starts rushing out like that.”
Mikel Arteta’s side went into the game in a strong position, having already secured 16 points in the Champions League first stage.
