Another supporter captured David Raya’s winning save from high above the goal in the North Bank.

Arsenal fan and writer for The Athletic Amy Lawrence had one of the best clips of the post-save celebration, notably catching Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Magalhaes celebrating in the direction of the Porto players.

Trossard turns to the Porto bench at the timestamp 0:16 in the video above, before again celebrating in the direction of Galeno and the other players at 0:28.

A couple of seconds earlier, at 0:26, you can see Gabriel shout towards Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa.
