Aaron Ramsdale has denied that Arsenal's 2-0 defeat to PSV Eindhoven is a ‘reality check’ as he offered a strong response following a difficult night for the Gunners.
Ramsdale has been crucial to Arsenal's electric start to the 2022/23 campaign but his first appearance in the Europa League was a night to forget. The 24-year-old shot-stopper was signed from Sheffield United for £25million in 2021 as he replaced Bernd Leno as the Gunners' No.1 goalkeeper.
Mikel Arteta opted to hand summer signing Matt Turner opportunities in the Europa League group stage as the American helped the north London outfit secure qualification for the knockout rounds. Ramsdale replaced Turner for the trip to Holland but Arsenal were unable to bounce back from their disappointing draw against Southampton in the Premier League last weekend PSV came away with a 2-0 win to keep them in the frame for top spot of the group heading into the final matchday.
