Aaron Ramsdale<\/strong><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
Eventually Aaron Ramsdale was able to break out into a relieved smile.<\/p>\n
The Arsenal goalkeeper\u2019s grin came moments after his team had beaten Brentford in a slog of a 2-1 win which moved the Gunners back to the top of the Premier League.<\/p>\n
Ramsdale was not laughing, however, for most of the previous hour.<\/p>\n
During that period it looked as though his error \u2013 hesitating on a backpass and seeing Brentford equalise when his eventual clearance was charged down by Yoane Wissa \u2013 would prove costly.<\/p>\n
The 25-year-old looked distraught as he headed into half-time, and the contrasting nature of his emotions at the end of each half summed up a rollercoaster evening for the England international.<\/p>\n
The high of a rare Premier League start was followed by the low of his mistake just before half-time.<\/p>\n
But he recovered after the break to show his worth to the team, producing two sharp saves from Ivan Toney and Nathan Collins which prevented Arsenal falling 2-1 behind.<\/p>\n
Those stops proved pivotal as the home side went on to nick a late winner through Kai Havertz which surely left Ramsdale the most relieved man in Emirates Stadium.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m really happy especially because he did exactly what he is, which is a person with huge personality and courage, very determined,\u201d Gunners boss Mikel Arteta said.<\/p>\n
\u201cErrors are part of football. It\u2019s how you react to it, especially for the keepers which is probably the most difficult position.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe did so in an amazing way.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not surprised because the whole team and the whole stadium was behind him.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has earned that respect and admiration. We really wanted to win for him.\u201d<\/p>\n
