Arsenal's Bendtner: We will win the title for Ramsey

Arsenal will go and win the title for injured Aaron Ramsery according to striker Nicklas Bendtner.

After the young Welshman's leg was injured in a horrific incident involving Stoke's Ryan Shawcross, Bendtner said the club would now strive to clinch the Premier League title for their injured youngster.

He also said the challenge by Shawcross was 'out of control'.

"To be honest, I don't care about my goal and the win. Aaron is one of my best friends and all my thoughts go to him. It is a totally horrifying injury," the Dane said.

"I was standing right next to Aaron, when it happened, and immediately there was no doubt at all, that he broke his leg. It was a terrible, totally mad tackle from Ryan Shawcross, and he is really smashing hard into Aaron.

"I don't believe, that anybody would try to intentionally to make an injury on another player, a fellow professional, but the way he is going into the tackle is out of control, and that doesn't belong anywhere.

"As far as I saw on the pitch, all the players from both teams were shocked, and so was I, because everyone could see, how awful it was. Thomas (Sorensen) came up to me, and we were both really shocked.

"Afterwards we were told, that Aaron will be out for at least 6-9 months, and I feel, that it is just so sad for him. Aaron is so young.

"I think about, how bad I felt, when I was out for three months with my groin injury, and this is just so much worse for Aaron.

"But now we will go and win the title for Aaron."
