Arsenal beat Aston Villa 3-1 on Friday night, turning in a superb performance – and fans spotted one moment with Aaron Ramsdale and Albert Sambi Lokonga.

The Gunners went 3-0 up as Thomas Partey, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Emile Smith Rowe found the net.

Jacob Ramsey did pull one back for Villa, but this was all about Arsenal and an outstanding night for Mikel Arteta’s men.

Villa did create chances in the second half, and Albert Sambi Lokonga almost gifted them all.

Picking the ball up around 20 yards from his own goal, Lokonga dallied for too long and was swarmed by three Villa players.

Leon Bailey picked up the ball and curled a shot straight at Aaron Ramsdale – who only had to give Lokonga a look to send a warning.

Without even shouting or barking at Lokonga, the Arsenal midfielder was effectively warned against doing the same again.

Arsenal fans spotted this very brief moment but absolutely loved it.

Some compared Ramsdale to David Seaman or Jens Lehmann in terms of his commanding nature.

Others suggested that Ramsdale is a future Arsenal captain, believing he has already shown that he is in charge.
