Aaron Ramsdale’s significance to Southampton’s survival effort was highlighted by his first clean sheet in a full year.

Acrobatic leaping to claw away Jesper Lindstrom’s free-kick was one of several incredible saves.

“You have long fingers,” I told him, and he simply grinned,” the Everton player disclosed. “I’m furious—he had a good game.”

Last summer, after losing his spot to David Raya, Ramsdale traded Arsenal for a relegation struggle. In November 2023, he recorded his most recent shutout against Brentford.

The Saints’ first Premier League victory came in the 85th minute thanks to his outstanding performance on Saturday, which included tipping over Orel Mangala’s piledriver and putting a Michael Keane header onto the post.

The England goalie stated, “Those are the standards I hold myself by.” Saints supporters saw the real Aaron Ramsdale. As a team, we had to work hard and pull it all together.

I’m glad Keane’s header didn’t strike my head or arm as it left my hand. I just prodded it about after it bounced off the post a few times and landed on Keane’s lap.

The only team now behind the Saints is Wolves, who they will play next weekend. Russell Martin, the manager, is happy to have Ramsdale.

His character is enormous. He remarked, “Good voice, proper training, always adds value, but in a really nice way.”

When Beto struck the bar 27 seconds before to Armstrong’s goal and had an attempt disallowed by VAR, Everton’s five-game winning streak came to an end.

The Premier League is that. Lindstrom, who had his greatest performance since signing on loan from Napoli, stated, “The other team can score if you are not ready every second.”
