NOT for the first time this season, Aaron Ramsdale was Arsenal's hero on Sunday.

Ramsdale is the saviour who meets challenges head on

The goalkeeper made a string of stunning saves to ensure the Gunners left Anfield with a point, including two huge stops in the final few minutes to keep out Liverpool's Ibrahima Konate and Mohamed Salah.

"I am not a big fan of goalkeepers, I think they get too much praise, but the last few minutes, these are unbelievable saves," said Roy Keane on Sky Sports.

After flying under the radar for much of this season, Ramsdale is finally getting the acclaim his performances deserve. He has delivered when it matters most, notably claiming the man-of-the-match award in the 2-0 win at Tottenham in January.

Equally vital were his saves late on as the Gunners won 4-2 at Aston Villa in February to end a run of four matches without a victory. With the game at 2-2, Ramsdale somehow tipped Leon Bailey's shot onto the bar and, minutes later, Arsenal took the lead.
