Arsenal goalkeeper Ramsdale happy with clean sheet for win at Leeds

Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale was delighted with his clean sheet for victory at Leeds United.

Bukayo Saka's first-half strike grabbed all three points, but equally important were the contributions at the other end, including Ramsdale who made some crucial saves throughout the encounter to keep his clean sheet intact.

Speaking post-match, he said: “As a whole, as a collective, we were outstanding defensively. A 1-0 win away from home at Leeds is a really tough ask, and we've done that.

“Of course we want to win 3-0 each week, passing the ball, but we found a way to win today and that's the most important thing. But collectively, I was shanking balls left right and centre. Bukayo got a goal, but couldn't get him into the game. We were just losing duals and stuff, but like I say from back to front the whole game we were outstanding defensively."

He continued: “I'm just thankful I was there today. I have been very critical of myself over recent games from the start of the season where goals have gone in, and there's questions to be answered the following day. So to help the team out today was great.

“It's just one of those emotions where now we've set our bar so high, standards-wise of how we want to play, and we didn't reach that. But the overriding emotion is elation because we got three points and a 1-0win away from home."
