Arsenal goalkeeper Ramsdale proud of first England cap

Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale proudly inspected his first England cap after being handed his Three Lions debut by Gareth Southgate last night.

The shot-stopper became the 1,265th player to be capped by England as they thrashed San Marino 10-0.

As he clutched the cap itself, Ramsdale admitted: "It's mad, innit."

Then asked how it feels, he replied: "Special, you know.

"It's a long time coming. Dreaming of this day for a long time."

When it was pointed out, tongue in cheek, that he'd marked the occasion with a clean sheet, Ramsdale grinned: "Yeah, gotta thank the boys for that haven't I?

"They played well in front of me, you know?"
