Thats why psxg is a flawed stat. The reason Raya has a negative psxg is because he conceded 2 goals from psxg of 0.2 in the leceister game. However, if you look at the goals, 1 was a huge deflection, 1 was an unsaveable shot hitting the post and went in. So you telling me based of psxg, Raya is one of the worst gk in the league when he has been saving arsenal for a few times this season?
