Arteta 'happy' with Ramsdale's performance despite recent blunder at Brentford

Arsenal moved to the top of the Premier League in dramatic fashion as Kai Havertz spared Aaron Ramsdale's blushes with a crucial late strike in Saturday's 2-1 win against Brentford.

Mikel Arteta's side were just minutes away from a damaging draw after Gunners keeper Ramsdale gifted an equaliser to Yoane Wissa.

"Really happy, especially because he did exactly what he is, which is a person with a huge personality and courage, very determined," coach Mikel Arteta said at the post-match press conference after his side's 2-1 win, which surprised reporters..

"An error is part of football, it’s hard to react about it, especially for the keepers because it’s probably the most difficult position but he did it in an amazing way. I am not surprised because the whole team and whole stadium was behind him.

"He has that respect and admiration and really wanted to win for him that moment and he really helped us to win the game," Arteta concluded.
