"Ramsdale's talent can help Arsenal win the championship this season," Gary Neville praised the 24-year-old goalkeeper in the 2-2 draw between Arsenal and Liverpool in round 30 of the Premier League.
Despite conceding two early goals in the first 30 minutes of the first half after goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus, Liverpool rallied strongly with Mohamed Salah reducing the score to 1-2 at the end of the first half and Roberto Firmino at the end of the second.

The "Red Brigade" almost came back to win if Mohamed Salah and Ibrahim Konate's shots were not brilliantly blocked by goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.
It was an excellent fingertip save when Ramsdale flew to block Salah's left-footed shot into the far corner of the goal in the 90+1 minute and then the English goalkeeper was said to have "cat-like reflexes" when stopping Ibrahima Konate from finishing from close range after a challenge in the 6m box.

"I think getting a point today is very good for Arsenal. Especially when they have to play at Anfield - not an easy field for any opponent," added Gary Neville.
'Aaron Ramsdale single-handedly kept Arsenal alive, despite the fact Liverpool came out firing in the second half and he produced one of the greatest performances of all time,' one fan praised Ramsdale.
Another fan added: "That could have been two of the best saves of the season."
"If Arsenal win the league, the credit goes to Ramsdale," said another.
The draw against Liverpool helped Arsenal maintain their top spot with a 6-point gap over second-placed Man City, but they have played one more game. In the next 8 rounds, coach Mikel Arteta's team still has to make a lot of effort when facing rivals such as Man City and Chelsea.
