Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is thrilled to have copped the club’s first win of the season alongside new signing Aaron Ramsdale.
After three consecutive defeats, Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal squad finally tasted victory as the team beat Norwich City at the Emirates Stadium Saturday.
It was Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who put Arsenal on top by bagging a goal on the 66th minute. However, Arteta also lauded the club’s new signing Aaron Ramsdale for a “terrific” shotstopping job.
“I think he was terrific,” Arteta told Arsenal’s official website after the game. “It is not only what he did on the technical side, it is what he transmits, his energy, his chemistry with the backline, how he reacts, his body language… I think it was top. We have two fantastic goalkeepers and never forgot what Bernd has done for us and what a good goalkeeper he is. I had to make decisions and I felt Aaron was the right one to do so and like in any other position, and that is what we decided today.”
Despite Ramsdale’s impressive performance, Arteta clarified that this doesn’t mean that the former Sheffield United shot-stopper will now be Arsenal's first option.
According to Arteta, all his goalkeepers will still fight for playing time this season.
“I want to see how they perform,” the Gunners boss pointed out. “Now we need performances and we need to win football matches, so whoever gives better performances and whoever transmits more confidence and is more reliable will play.”
