Arsenal boss Arteta defends Ramsdale: Errors part of football

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was happy with Aaron Ramsdale in victory over Brentford.

The goalkeeper stepped up with David Raya unable to face his parent club.

Ramsdale was at fault for the Bees' goal, but Arteta said after the 2-1 win: "Really happy especially because he did exactly what he is, which is a person with huge personality and courage, very determined.

"Errors are part of football. It's how you react to it, especially for the keepers which is probably the most difficult position. He did so in an amazing way. I'm not surprised because the whole team and the whole stadium was behind him.

"He has earned that respect and admiration. We really wanted to win for him."
