David Seaman compares Aaron Ramsdale and Nick Pope

David Seaman was an Arsenal legend and was a goalkeeper for the club for many years.

He won many trophies whilst at the Gunners. He is one who is very much in the right to compare the two goalkeepers.

Seaman compared the two on his and stated who he believed had the better game.

He said: “Aaron made better saves than Nick did. A lot of Nick’s saves were around him, there was one with his forearm and with his feet – they were great saves.

“There’s no doubts about it but Aaron’s saves were a bit different. He had one from a header which was just pure reaction.

“But if you are watching that and you are the England goalkeeping coach, you are thinking ‘wow, these two are really on form’. I think Aaron just pipped Nick.”

Both definitely had good games but Seaman is right. There were a couple of saves which Ramsdale made which were so key in the Gunners winning. One of them was just after the second half started. If the Magpies managed to pick up the goal then and equalise, they would have most likely gone on to score again.
