Talking to the media after the match, Gunners boss Mikel Arteta lauded Ramsdale’s performance after his mistake. “An error is part of football. It is how to react to it (that matters),” he said. “Especially for the keepers, it is probably the most difficult position.”

In the second half, both teams were motivated and tried their best to win the game. Despite his earlier error, Ramsdale produced several outstanding saves to keep his team in the game as Arsenal persisted in their offensive.

The atmosphere in the stadium was tense as the two teams ramped up their efforts to net the ball. Meantime, the decisions made by referee Robert Jones angered Arsenal players and supporters.
