Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta commended goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale for displaying resilience after surviving two first-half errors in the team's 1-0 Premier League victory against Brentford on Saturday.

While Kai Havertz's late-headed goal took centre stage in securing Arsenal's position at the top of the table, Ramsdale, making his first league start since September, became a focal point of discussion.

Ramsdale's recent stint on the bench behind David Raya raised eyebrows, but given an opportunity to prove himself, he faced a challenging first half.

His caught-in-possession mishap within his own area led to a Bryan Mbeumo shot, cleared off the line by Declan Rice.

Additionally, he made an inexplicable error by throwing the ball onto the turf while attempting to send it forward from his gloves.

Despite these shaky moments, Ramsdale regained composure in the second half.

However, Arteta might have lingering concerns about the goalkeeper's overall performance.

"Courage. He has big courage and a big personality and that's what we need," Arteta told reporters. "This is football. I'm so happy with the team. The way the team performed with the clean sheet We move on."
