Mikel Arteta has praised Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale after the Gunners' new goalkeeper kept a clean sheet on his Premier League debut for the club.
The 23-year-old summer signing from Sheffield United arrived at Arsenal for £24million and is seen as the long-term replacement for Bernd Leno, who is not expected to extend his contract with the club.
Leno was dropped to the bench for the 1-0 win against Norwich after conceding five goals in Arsenal's previous Premier League match at Manchester City before the international break.
Ramsdale started for the Gunners in their 6-0 win over West Brom in the Carabao Cup a fortnight ago and Arteta was full of praise for the England shot stopper's performance at Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
"I think he was terrific," said Arteta after the game.
"It's not only what he did on the technical side, it's what he transmits, his energy, his chemistry with the backline, how he reacts, his body language - I think he was top.
"We have two fantastic goalkeepers. Never forget what Bernd has done for us and what a good goalkeeper he is.
"I had to make a decision and today I believed Aaron was the right one to do so, like in any other position we have to decide and that's what we decided today.
"I want to see how they perform. Now we need performances and we need to win football matches.
"Whoever gives the better performances, transmits better things and is more reliable is going to play."
