Mikel Arteta praises Aaron Ramsdale for his 'huge personality and courage' after horror error in Arsenal's victory against Brentford - as he admits the team 'really wanted to win' for under-fire goalkeeper

Mikel Arteta praised Aaron Ramsdale's response to his nightmare error in Arsenal's dramatic victory against Brentford and admitted 'we really wanted to win for him'.

The under-fire goalkeeper was handed a rare start in the Premier League with David Raya, Arteta's No 1 this season, ineligible to face his parent club at the Emirates.

But he was left red-faced after allowing Yoane Wissa to equalise late in the first half, a mistake that thrust him into the spotlight and cancelled out Declan Rice's opener.

With Arsenal leading in their bid to climb to the top of the table, ahead of Liverpool and Manchester City, Ramsdale collected a back pass and looked to hoist clear.
