Aaron Ramsdale reaction

Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale became a focus of discussion surrounding the Brentford clash, following a key error. The England international attempted to play a late pass to beat the press of Yoane Wissa, but in doing so hit the striker, with the ball ending up in the back of the net.

After the final whistle, reporter Sam Dean claimed on  on X, that Arteta and veteran midfielder Jorginho were quick to hug Ramsdale on the pitch – summing up the unity within the squad.
