Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya blamed difficulties adapting to the new Puma Premier League ball after conceding a free-kick to Dominik Szoboszlai in a 1-0 defeat. Raya admitted the new ball’s grip and flight differed from Nike’s design. He said Arsenal showed character but were undone by “fine margins” and a “magical moment.” Puma took over from Nike as the official ball supplier this season.
