Goalkeeper Manuel Almunia, who saved a Robbie Keane penalty in the match against Tottenham on Saturday, said that it was intuition that made him dive the right way.
Spurs were given a penalty after Kolo Touré had fouled Berbatov, and the usually reliable Keane couldn't beat Almunia from the spot.
The Spaniard, currently enjoying a good run in the team at Jens Lehmann's expense, said: "Intuition played a big part in that and also luck.
"I also have a good goalkeeping coach in Gerry Peyton and we speak about penalties, about everything and the other team and, in this case, it has been very good for me.
"I am very pleased to be in the Arsenal goal every game but I take this as a part of my life and I have to treat every match like the first one and enjoy my situation now."
