Aaron Ramsdale claims that despite a hard-fought job to cross the nightmarish 11-point record, the Saints didn't lose sleep over this.
In a season that brought only nightmares for Southampton, the Saints can finally heave a sigh of relief. That's because, even though they are relegated, now they aren't going with their heads down in shame.
Phew! Southampton have finally crossed Derby's lowest ever 11-point Top Flight record total.
Well, and what a way to mark their 12th point. Defying all mocking predictions and their squad vulnerability issues, Southampton made Man City succumb to a frustrating draw at home.
Thanks to a complete low-block effort from the entire lineup after Captain Bednarek's rally cry, Southampton achieved the near impossible at St. Mary's. But it wouldn't have been so if not for keeper Aaron Ramsdale's heroics in the Saints' goal once again.
Yet, surprisingly, Ramsdale's performance wasn't his best memory for fans yesterday, as his post-game claim has taken the spotlight ever since.
Ramsdale silences Southampton's critics with ice-cold comment
Recently, after a calm and composed performance against Man City, Ramsdale remained as cool as he was in the game while delivering his post-match thoughts.
As quoted by the Daily Echo, Ramsdale said: “It’s a really great day for us in a tough season. I don’t think we’ve been losing sleep (about the points total)."
Just imagine being restricted to single-digit points for most of the season, and then speaking with such confidence after a brilliant comeback, definitely, it couldn't have been any other Saint than Aaron Ramsdale.
This is because such bold comments have become a norm for the ex-Arsenal keeper. What just changed compared to the previous cases is that this time Ramsdale had Southampton's support to back his words.
Ultimately, the keeper silenced all those critics who doubted Southampton as the worst team ever, giving all the Saints fans an unforgettable joy amidst a difficult season.
But, the agony continues, was it the last one from Aaron Ramsdale, who is to leave this summer?
