If this proves to be the final act of Aaron Ramsdale’s Arsenal career, what a sorry ending.
It could even have been worse if Kai Havertz had not come to his rescue with an 86th-minute headed winner to see off Brentford.
Ramsdale’s nightmare moment came when Gabriel’s pass trickled along the floor to him in first-half stoppage time. The goalkeeper’s right leg cocked back seemingly for an age, allowing Yoane Wissa to execute a slide tackle and deflect the attempted clearance into the net. It was poor.
