Danny Murphy says Aaron Ramsdale is ‘losing the plot a little bit’ after reaction to penalty miss

Danny Murphy has criticised Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale for the way he celebrated in front of Bruno Fernandes after the Manchester United midfielder’s penalty miss on Saturday. 

United were handed the chance to level the scores at 2-2 when Nuno Tavares handled the ball in the box in the second half.

Surprisingly, Fernandes stepped up instead of Cristiano Ronaldo but the midfielder proceeded to send it wide.

Ramsdale then ran up and celebrated wildly in front of Fernandes and Murphy wasn’t impressed.

‘I always think when you’re getting too emotionally involved you’re detracting from your own performance,’ Murphy told talkSPORT.

‘When you start getting to the Martin Keown in [Ruud] Van Nistelrooy’s face or Ramsdale jumping out [against United], I think you’re losing the plot a little bit. It’s all a bit for fans.

Danny Murphy criticised Ramsdale for his reaction, saying he was too ’emotionally invested’

The squandered spot-kick proved costly with the Gunners going on to win the game 3-1

‘I understand it. If I was his manager I’d be saying, “Don’t do that again”.

‘The best example of reining that emotional aspect of his football is [Jordan] Pickford, that’s why he’s still England No 1.

‘If Ramsdale’s got sights on taking over from Pickford at some point… there’s nothing wrong with passion and if you save the penalty I’d understand it. But he didn’t save it.’
