Aaron Ramsdale explains how he did his god-like save in the Leicester City game

Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale has finally opened up about the incredible save that he made in the game against Leicester City on Saturday.

Arsenal completed the signing of Aaron Ramsdale in the 2021 summer transfer window despite immense criticism from the fans on this decision since the general sentiment in the fandom was that their club was spending much money on a goalkeeper that had been relegated twice.  Aaron Ramsdale has however surprised everyone with his impressive performances in his first months at the club.

Arsenal were on Saturday welcomed at the King Power Stadium by Leicester City and the gunners walked away with all the three points thanks to two goals from Gabriel Magalhaes and Emile Smith Rowe but these goal scorers didn’t get the man of the match award or make the headlines as goalkeeper Ramsdale had a better performance than them.

It has also received global praise in the football world with some legendary goalkeepers Seaman and Schmeichel claiming that is one of the best saves ever.

“From then on, it’s about explosion. If you get there, you get there and if not, you don’t. I’ll watch it back. It’s just
