The Welsh midfield general has been a victim of a lot of criticism in the early stages of this season. With no marquee signing to replace Cesc Fabregas, Ramsey was given the unfortunate burden of the expectation to emulate Cesc.

Arsenal moved to seventh in the table with a deserving 3-1 victory over Stoke City in a weekend that produced some shocking results
