Mikel's madcap plan after Ramsdale axe

EVERTON O ARSENAL 1

MIKEL ARTETA bizarrely claimed he is prepared to swap his keepers midmatch after dumping No.1 Aaron Ramsdale at Everton.

SAN 9 Leandro Trossard's winner sent Arsenal into fourth as they piled the misery on struggling Everton.

But it was Arteta's decision to axe Ramsdale for new loan signing David Raya that raised eyebrows.

Raya was untroubled but, when questioned on his decision over his choice in goal, Arsenal boss Arteta (pictured hugging goal hero Trossard) offered up an unusual defence of his selection.
