Arsenal goalkeeper Ramsdale happy to beat Leeds - and for Bamford

Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale says he's happy seeing Leeds striker Patrick Bamford back on the pitch.

Ramsdale admitted afterwards that he was delighted to come out on top in his battle with Bamford, but not before welcoming him back after his long lay-off.

“Firstly, it's great to see Pat back out there after a long time. You play against these people, and you have competition, but after the game, you have the mutual respect to say hello," Ramsdale told football.london after Sunday's win.

“It's good that you have that feeling that you're getting one up on him at the time. He could quite easily have scored that penalty, and it turns in his favour.

“It's a great little battle we've got, but at the end of the day, it wasn't just me. We had some big blocks and moments from our defenders, midfielders and attackers. It's a great day all-round, really."
