Gary Neville was stunned by Aaron Ramsdale’s error against Southampton as Arsenal goalkeeper Carlos Alcaraz intercepted a pass who scored at the bottom of the table Southampton surprisingly took the lead at the Emirates on Friday.

Gary Neville has slammed Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale after his flagrant error allowed Southampton to take a shock early lead against Arsenal at the Emirates.

Ramsdale’s attempt to pass the center back failed to find his target as Carlos Alcaraz rebounded and intercepted the loose ball before whipping a brilliant finish past the Arsenal keeper after just 27 seconds.

Neville has drawn comparisons between Ramsdale and Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea, whose poor pass to Harry Maguire contributed to Sevilla’s opening goal in their 3-0 win over the Red Devils on Thursday.

He said: “Wow, I had flashbacks to David De Gea and Harry Maguire last night, the difference is he got there and it didn’t.”

‘We’ve been telegraphed.’ What a start for this game. I thought Ramsdale was great at Anfield a few weeks ago, but he could have done better with the second goal against West Ham.

Aaron Ramsdell made an early mistake, Southampton scoring after just 27 seconds, Ramsdell was consoled by his Arsenal team mates after his foul against Southampton, Ramsdell got a hand for Carlos Alcaraz’s effort, but couldn’t prevent it from falling into the bottom corner.

“But this is a very tense start and I’ve pitted the team top against bottom in the face of that.”

Arsenal have now conceded the fastest two goals of the Premier League season after Bournemouth took the lead at the Emirates after just nine seconds.

Ramsdale has been one of the most impressive goalkeepers in the Premier League this season during an impressive campaign for Arsenal.

He made a series of brilliant saves in the dying embers to ensure Arsenal’s escape from Anfield with a 2-2 draw against Liverpool.

But he struggled in his side’s 2-2 draw with West Ham the following week and was criticized by Neville for not doing enough to stop Jarrod Bowen’s attack.

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher said Ramsdale’s mistakes made it clear the England international should have saved Alcaraz’s shot.

He’s got to save it, he’s been maxed out the last couple of weeks, just see Alcaraz, awesome.

Carragher added, “He got a shot, he didn’t expect to score with it and he shouldn’t have scored. Ramsdale catches it with his right hand, and he has to deal with it, and he has to be stronger.”

Man United goalkeeper De Gea was similarly at fault for a mistake that saw Sevilla score in the opening 10 minutes of Thursday’s European game.

The Spanish centre-back put Maguire under massive pressure by flicking a pass into him on the edge of his box while he was flanked by three opposition players.

Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea made a similar mistake against Sevilla on Thursday, Southampton forward Alcaraz blasted a Ramsdale mistake to put his side ahead and Gary Neville blasted Aaron Ramsdale’s mistake that led to Southampton’s opening goal.

Youssef Al-Nesyri stole the ball from the United captain and scored, which set the tone for the Spanish side’s comfortable 3-0 win.

Ramsdale’s struggles continued throughout the remainder of an action-packed first half as did Neville’s criticism after the Arsenal goalkeeper unconvincingly deflected a series of headers on goal wide from a corner kick.

Neville fumed again: ‘What a mess, and then that’s a good reflex, over his left shoulder, he reaches out to her.’

“It’s getting a little tense, the goalkeeper a little uneasy.”
