Arsenal are currently 1-1 with Tottenham at half-time in the NLD after a breathtaking half of football in London.

The Gunners took the lead when Bukayo Saka’s shot/cross was deflected into the net by Cristian Romero.

However, Tottenham fought back and after some big saves from David Raya, Heung-Min Son struck an equaliser after great work from James Maddison.

Indeed, Raya’s inclusion in the XI was one of the big talking points before the game. But it seems even though Aaron Ramsdale has been dropped for him, the England skipper approves.

Aaron Ramsdale celebrates brilliant David Raya save

Spotted on Sky Sports after Raya made a stunning 37th minutes save to deny Brennan Johnson, Ramsdale was seen on the Gunners bench giving his reaction to the Spaniard.

But rather than looking annoyed that his replacement had produced such a moment, Ramsdale was spotted applauding the Gunners goalkeeper for the save.

Ramsdale was spotted on camera nodding in approval and clapping his hands above his head at what Raya had just done.

Certainly, it seems there are no problems between the pair at the moment, even though Raya is more than proving himself as a top stopper thus far.

Working together

Aaron Ramsdale has had to deal with a bit of a setback in recent weeks but his reaction on the bench v Tottenham today will be pleasing for Mikel Arteta.

Goalkeepers often have to work together and become big friends off the field. At the moment, it seems Raya and Ramsdale are going that way.

Raya has effectively kept Arsenal in the game and really, there can be nothing but admiration for his performance so far.
