Arsenal fans react to Mat Ryan display vs Aston Villa

A selection of Arsenal fans on Twitter have appreciated the performance of goalkeeper Mat Ryan during the club’s 1-0 Premier League defeat to Aston Villa on the road.

The Australia international made his Gunners debut in the absence of the suspended Bernd Leno and he conceded a goal within 74 seconds from the start.

Ryan had not touched the ball before the Villans went ahead and he could not do much for the goal after Ollie Watkins’ shot deflected from his path after Rob Holding’s intervention.

The 28-year-old put up a solid performance thereafter with as many as seven saves and that included three impressive ones which kept the Gunners in the game.
