Gary Lineker has said on Twitter that Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale was the best player for England last night.

However, it is clear that the Tottenham Hotspur striker made the comment in jest.

What’s the story?

England hammered 10-man San Marino 10-0 away from home last night.

Tottenham striker Harry Kane scored four goals.

The win in the 2022 World Cup qualifier saw the Three Lions qualify for the Qatar finals next year.

Ramdale made his debut for England and kept a clean sheet.

Gary Lineker’s remark

Former Spurs striker Lineker has said that he would give the Man of the Match award to Ramsdale for keeping a clean sheet on his debut.

Easy-peasy for Aaron Ramsdale

It was a fairly quiet debut from Arsenal goalkeeper Ramsdale.

There was just one moment in the first half when Nicola Nanni tested the former Sheffield United goalkeeper.

That was it.

Sky Sports did not give the £24 million Arsenal summer signing (The Athletic) any mark in their player ratings.

It was one of the easiest games that Ramdale will ever have in his entire career.
