Carragher is mocked: Teams were never going to win the title with him in

Former Sky Sports presenter Richard Keys has hit back at Jamie Carragher following his comments about Aaron Ramsdale during the north London derby on Sunday.

Ramsdale was an unused substitute during the Gunners' 2-2 draw with rivals Tottenham, with summer signing David Raya being preferred to the England international.

And, despite the fact he may be losing out on his No.1 spot at the Emirates, Ramsdale showed a heap of support for his team-mate during the tense North London Derby.

One instance of that came after a brilliant stop from Raya in the first-half was met by clapping and smiling from benched star Ramsdale.

During post-match analysis, on Sky, Carragher said: 'I thought it was like the Oscars, you know when someone loses the Oscar and they start clapping and smiling for the other person. I was laughing when I saw that. He's absolutely devastated with that really.'

Later that evening, Nick Ramsdale replied to a Tweet about Carragher's comments and said: 'You are a Disgrace!! Show some class!! My lad has'.

And now, ex-Sky Sports presenter Keys has weighed in on the situation and praised Ramsdale's father for his rebuttal to the ex-Liverpool star.

Writing in his blog, I was interested to see Aaron Ramsdale’s dad leap to his son’s defence by lambasting Jamie Carragher for his comments during the derby game. Good on him. I feel for Ramsdale. He’s a terrific ‘keeper and made of the right stuff, which is why he’ll turn up elsewhere and go on to have a very good career.

'I didn’t agree with Carragher’s midweek assessment that Arsenal would never win the title with Ramsdale in goal. When I saw that my initial reaction was ‘nonsense’, because they were a whisker away from doing so last season.

'But then I realised that Carragher played in a team that was never going to win the title with him in it, so he probably knows more about the subject than me'.
