1. Aaron Ramsdale

Who else could be at the top of the list? Aaron Ramsdale was, without a doubt, Arsenal’s man of the match. He proved exactly why he was bought and treated fans to one of the best goalkeeping displays in recent history.

Ramsdale has largely been known for his ability on the ball, with his shot stopping good but not great. Against Liverpool, his shot-stopping was world-class. Making crucial save after crucial save, he singlehandedly kept Arsenal in the game.

His confidence and imperiousness in one-on-ones merit praise as well. Darting quickly off his line, making himself big and giving opponents little time to think resulted in missed shots and more saves.

While he could not have done anything about the goals conceded, he did everything he could for the rest of the game. The rest of the team will be proud of him and he should be proud of himself for what was an exceptional performance indeed.

Despite dropping two points, the Arsenal players can be proud of their performance. They dominated the game in periods and had chances on the break. Going toe to toe with a current top-four and previous title contender away from home is a tall ask and Arsenal did well to answer it. They must, however, get back to winning ways on the weekend.
