‘Love this team’ – Touching moment Ben White wipes grass off Aaron Ramsdale’s face after Arsenal star goes down injured

The moment appeared pretty innocuous at the time.

One wrote on Reddit: “I f***ing love this team.

“Think it’s been at least a decade since this team has been this likeable.”

A second commented: “My thoughts exactly everything is fitting together the stadium is buzzing every game, the players love each other, just everything absolutely everything has completely changed for the better I haven’t been so in love with this club.”

While a third added: “I even said this to my dad today. I can’t remember the last time I felt the NEED to watch every game.”

One cynical supporter had another theory, however, writing: “I felt like he was trying to make him laugh because he knew Ramsdale was time wasting.”
