Mikel Arteta reveals what he said to Aaron Ramsdale after the former Arsenal keeper's emotional return to the Emirates with Southampton

Aaron Ramsdale made an emotional return to his former club on Saturday when he turned out for Southampton in their Premier League game at Arsenal.

The 26-year-old - who played 89 times for the Gunners before leaving to join the Saints in a £25million deal in August - was in tears during the warm-up.

Ramsdale then made three saves against his old side but that was not enough to stop Southampton falling to a 3-1 defeat.

Arsenal fans chanted Ramsdale's name towards the end of Saturday's match.

After the final whistle, Ramsdale was then seen exchanging words with Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and current Gunners goalkeeper David Raya.
