ARSENAL fans have been left fuming over keeper Aaron Ramsdale’s shocking howler against Fulham.

The Gunners stopper was randomly standing at edge of his penalty area as Andreas Pereira jumped onto a loose ball to give the visitors a 1-0 lead.

However, the game could not have got off to a worse start for Arsenal, as Fulham’s opening goal came courtesy of a gift from Ramsdale.

Pereira opened the scoring for the visitors inside a minute.

The midfielder’s goal was made easy for him as Ramsdale’s goalkeeping left a lot to be said for.

In a bizarre incident, Ramsdale was caught out of position for no apparent reason.

Pereira jumped onto a loose ball and caught the Arsenal stopper from distance.

Ramsdale then ran backwards towards his goal, before twisting left and diving right to try and save it.

But it was too late – Pereira slipped the ball past him from outside the penalty area to make it 1-0.

The blunder comes at a bad time for Ramsdale with more scrutiny on his job after the arrival of David Raya from Brentford.

And Arsenal fans were left reeling at the howler.

One fan fumed: “What the hell is Ramsdale doing”.

Another added: “Why is he chilling near the edge of the box lmao”.

A third said: “Ramsdale is going to do an apology instagram post after this 😂”.

A fourth wrote: “Both Ramsdale and Onana are clueless”.

A fifth wrote: “Wowww. Just Wow 😂”.
