Arsenal claimed a second straight Premier League win on Saturday afternoon, beating Burnley 1-0 at Turf Moor – and Aaron Ramsdale impressed again.

The Gunners started to turn their season around last weekend, beating Norwich City 1-0 at the Emirates Stadium.

The old chant goes ‘1-0 to the Arsenal’, and that was the case again on Saturday.

Martin Odegaard’s inch-perfect free kick gave Arsenal the win, and the Gunners held firm to keep Burnley at bay.

Ramsdale stands tall

Any goalkeeper playing against Burnley needs to be ready to command their area.

Burnley will send cross after cross into the box and get physical on set pieces.

Aaron Ramsdale dealt with the danger brilliantly, claiming four high crosses against the Clarets.

Ramsdale commanded his area well, relieving the pressure with decisive goalkeeping.

Add in three saves and a clean sheet and Ramsdale is off to a great start at Arsenal; two league games played, no goals conceded!

Arsenal fans rave about Ramsdale

Arsenal fans weren’t sure about Ramsdale at first.

The £30million deal to sign him from Sheffield United was seen as exorbitant.

Ramsdale had suffered successive relegations with Bournemouth and Sheffield United but was now landing a big move to Arsenal.

So far though, Ramsdale is performing.

Arsenal fans took to Twitter to suggest that Ramsdale is proving them wrong every week and continues to make a mockery of the criticism.

Others admitted they ‘massively doubted’ Ramsdale, but the consensus was that he turned in an ‘immense’ display against Burnley.
