Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta accused of ‘humiliating’ his own player in Everton win

Arsenal news: Mikel Arteta has been criticised for dropping Aaron Ramsdale Arsenal fan Piers Morgan claims Mikel Arteta humiliated Aaron Ramsdale by dropping him against Everton. The goalkeeper was axed at Goodison Park, with summer signing David Raya coming in to replace him. Mikel Arteta reviews Everton Raya made his Arsenal debut and kept a clean sheet. The Spaniard was rarely called into action as Everton struggled to create any chances of note. Ramsdale watched on from the bench as Leandro Trossard’s second-half strike sealed a deserved win for the visitors.

More info Morgan understood the decision to leave out Havertz but didn’t share the same view over Ramsdale’s omission. He claimed the 25-year-old did not deserve to lose his place. Morgan wrote on X: “I don’t understand what Ramsdale has done to deserve being dropped? Havertz, yes.. but Ramsdale’s been consistently superb for us. Why humiliate him?” In a later post, he wrote: “I don’t believe in having 2 top ‘keepers with neither knowing who’s No 1. Nothing against Raya, who is very good, but don’t like the way Ramsdale’s being treated.” Ramsdale only signed a new contract at Arsenal earlier this year. The deal will keep him at the Emirates until the summer of 2026 with an option of a further year but his axe on Sunday will only raise doubts over his long-term spot in the side. Trending
