Mikel Arteta has shared his thoughts on Aaron Ramsdale\u2019s performance against Brentford after throwing the Englishman back into the starting XI.<\/p>\n
Arsenal news, exclusives and analysis<\/p>\n
Ramsdale recently lost the No.1 goalkeeper spot to summer signing David Raya, with the Spanish star favoured by Gunners boss Arteta in recent weeks.<\/p>\n
But Arteta handed Ramsdale a start as Arsenal took on Brentford in the third round of the Carabao Cup, a match which they won 1-0 in west London.<\/p>\n
Ramsdale caught the eye on his return with a crucial second-half save from Yoane Wissa and he also denied Frank Onyeka late-on as he recorded a clean sheet.<\/p>\n
\u2018He\u2019s been exceptional around the place and especially with the situation,\u2019 Arteta said about Ramsdale after the game.<\/p>\n
\u2018We love him, for sure. We know his character and what he brings to the team and we are happy to have him. <\/p>\n
\u2018Every player is very important. Today he had the opportunity to play and he had a really good game. I\u2019m really happy.<\/p>\n
\u2018It was a great save [to stop Yoane Wissa] and crucial for us to win the game.\u2019<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Jamie Carragher has urged Ramsdale to leave Arsenal because he does not think that the 25-year-old will be able to reclaim the No.1 spot.<\/p>\n
Carragher also suggested that Ramsdale was being fake when his reaction to Raya\u2019s key save in Sunday\u2019s north London derby went viral, which saw the player\u2019s dad call the pundit a \u2018disgrace\u2019.<\/p>\n
