Aaron Ramsdale has earned rave reviews for his performance in Newcastle United's 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur and rightly so.

The England international goalkeeper has had to remain patient for another chance between the posts given the form of Nick Pope so far this season but he used the Carabao Cup clash as an opportunity to showcase his talents.

Ramsdale made an outstanding save from Pape Mate Sarr's goalbound effort in the second half and was a commanding presence throughout the game on Wednesday evening.

But it was perhaps his distribution with his feet, a known weakness of Pope's, that stood out the most. In the first half, he played a precise pass into Sandro Tonali that started a dangerous attack and he looked very comfortable with the ball at his feet.
