The Gunners earned their first win away from home against Spurs for nine years as a Hugo Lloris own goal and a Martin Odegaard strike gave them a much-deserved 2-0 win. It leaves them eight points clear at the top of the Premier League.
Ramsdale had one of his best matches of the season, making seven saves to keep a clean sheet. He was particularly impressive straight after the break as Tottenham threatened to get back into the match, keeping Harry Kane and Ryan Sessegnon at bay.
At the full-time whistle Ramsdale clashed with Richarlison, before a Spurs supporter moved down in the stands and kicked out at the Arsenal goalkeeper.
Ramsdale had his back turned as a steward attempted to push the fan away, though the Englishman confirmed after the match that he had felt it.
“The Spurs fans were giving me some throughout the second half, I gave them some back,” Ramsdale told Sky Sports.
“To the few people I did do it to, it was probably well-greeted. And then a fan jumped over and gave me a little punch in the back. That’s what happened.
“It’s a shame because it’s just a game of football at the end of the day.
“Both sets of players tried to bring me away, but thankfully nothing actually happened that was too drastic. It’s a sour taste but we’ll enjoy it when we got back in the dressing room.”
When made aware of it in his post-match interview, Tottenham centre-back Eric Dier condemned the incident.
“I didn’t see it, but it’s obviously just unacceptable,” Dier said.
“There’s nothing more I can say – it’s unacceptable and it should never have happened.”
