Aaron Ramsdale reveals Mikel Arteta dressing room reaction as Arsenal drop points

Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale has reacted to his stunning saves against Liverpool and revealed Mikel Arteta's response to the draw.

The Gunners looked to be cruising to their first win at Anfield in 11 years after goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus, only for Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino to earn a share of the spoils.

Arsenal were lucky to come away from Anfield with anything after Salah's missed penalty and a number of stunning saves from Ramsdale, and the goalkeeper wasn't too downbeat after seeing the club's winning run end.

Asked how he was feeling after the game, Ramsdale told Sky Sports: "Mixed emotions but over the next few days I think it will be a very good point.

"We’ve been under pressure for 35 minutes and get a point away at Anfield. They’re a top side. It might be two points dropped but we could have dropped three. There’s no better game to play in than these games. At least my saves have helped us out!

"I thought we were excellent. For 50-60 minutes we were very good but we got unlocked by two goals."

Arsenal have led the table for much of the season but now know reigning champions Manchester City are favourites for the title, as they hold a game in hand and will welcome their title rivals to their home later this month.

Ramsdale continued: "Now we have to go back in and build again. One point is a lot better than none. The manager will say that [to focus on the good aspects]. He’s hugely positive. We’ll digest it in the next few days."
