Fans spot Arsenal keeper Ramsdale’s ‘s***housery’ after being taunted with X-rated Raya song by Brentford supporters
EAGLE-EYED football fans spotted Aaron Ramsdale taunting Brentford fans by celebrating his outstanding save during Arsenal’s 1-0 Carabao Cup win on Wednesday evening.
The England international, 25, returned to Mikel Arteta’s side at the Gtech Community Stadium after ex-Brentford shot-stopper David Raya had taken his place for the previous three games.
And the home supporters were quick to remind Ramsdale he had been dislodged as No1 with an X-rated chant.
The Bees faithful could be heard singing: “You’re just a s*** David Raya.”
In response, Ramsdale produced a sensational display, keeping a clean sheet to book Arsenal‘s place in the fourth round as Reiss Nelson scored the only goal of the game.
The ex-Sheffield United keeper’s best moment of the match came 20 minutes into the second half when he tipped Yoanne Wissa’s venomous low drive onto the post.
And Ramsdale was quick to give the Brentford fans a bit of their own medicine in response to their harsh chant.
Just moments after the ball had bounced away, he turned his back to the play and eyeballed the home supporters behind the goal.
This moment led to widespread reaction on social media as fans could not believe he decided to celebrate while the ball was still alive.
One person said: “Giving back when the ball is in play? Ridiculous from you!”

Another added: “That’s confidence, that’s Rambo.”
A third replied: “”I love Aaron Ramsdale, such a s***house!”
While a fourth responded: “The greatest showman .”
After the game, Arteta hailed Ramsdale’s reaction to Raya replacing him in the side.
He said: “He’s been exceptional around the place with the situation. We love him more for sure. We know him, we know his character and we are really happy to have him.
“I don’t think I’m the one to answer the question about Aaron Ramsdale’s quality because I’m the one who signed him when everyone else was questioning that decision.
“Every player is very important. We have a lot of injuries as well and players who contributed. But in football it’s about now, it’s about the moment. Today, he had the opportunity to play and he played a really big game.”
Arsenal have been drawn away at West Ham in the Carabao Cup fourth round, with the tie to take place on the week commencing October 30.
In the Premier League, the Gunners travel to Bournemouth on Saturday.
