But he was denied a clear sheet by Harry Maguire’s personal aim on an evening when Scotland didn't muster a single shot on track for him to avoid wasting. Regardless, the Three Lions nonetheless ran out 3-1 winners in Glasgow.

“Of course my target is to be No 1 in the Euros,” Ramsdale mentioned “I wouldn't stand here with any other dream in mind. I know how tough that's going to be.

“Jordan Pickford has been outstanding for England and he’s been outstanding all week, because when I got told I was playing a couple of days ago he didn't check out of the camp. I’m not saying I wasn't ready a year ago, but, you know, circumstances happened in that game and we got beat 4-0 by Hungary.”

Ramsdale has come underneath elevated strain within the Premier League too with the arrival in the summertime of David Raya, a person many imagine is simply ready to usurp Ramsdale from the Arsenal shirt. But whether or not it’s membership or nation, Ramsdale is a lot used to it.

You're enjoying for England,” he mentioned. “It's the most scrutinised team in the world. We've got so many good players, a pool of players, and everyone will have a different opinion on who should be playing and who shouldn't be playing.

“He talks you through the game, I remember that from my first cap. It was San Marino and we won 10-0 but he talked me through the whole game, calmed me down at times and he did the same last night.

“So it's a real dream to play with him and it's just an unfortunate goal that people are going to highlight and it doesn't need to be that way.”
