Southampton goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale reveals mindset has not changed despite relegation battle

Ramsdale was voted the best player by Saints fans in the club's 1-0 win over the Toffees last weekend, securing three points for the first time this season. The former Arsenal man brilliantly denied a header from Everton's Michael Keane as one of five saves in a first clean sheet since signing for Saints. Ramsdale wants that performance to be the benchmark ahead of the lifelong West Brom fan visiting Southampton's relegation rivals Wolves.  He told BBC Radio Solent: "It was a real team effort. Obviously, it feels great to get sort of that off our chests. Especially the first win. "I think the win was probably more important than the clean sheet but to get both together shows that we're really working with it for the team. "The front boys put in the hard yards and the defenders dealt with Everton's aerial threat, which they're so good at, and they minimised their chances. "If they got through I was thankful I was there. That's sort of the standards I keep myself, hold myself by. That's the real Aaron Ramsdale that the Saints fans saw. "I don't think our mindset has changed. We didn't think coming into it we were intense or edgy," added Ramsdale, asked about the impact of the win.  "The way we've been training, the way we've been improving in games in the past week especially gives us so much confidence. "It was just about putting it together as a 90 minutes. We had to dig deep because, like I say, they're an aerial threat. "The way they play is fantastic. It's contrasting styles but we had to deal with that so we dogged it out and then played our football at times when we needed to." Ramsdale had conceded 19 goals in his first eight matches since joining from Arsenal in a summer deal worth up to £25million. He has been steadfast in his belief in manager Russell Martin and the possession-based style of play that Saints have employed this season. "We don't see it as risk," he insisted. "We see it as a way of playing and I feel like we had done it for periods in games and then ended up dropping points. "We go to Man City, champions of England, one of the best teams, play really well, come out with a very good performance. "We got through it in the next round of the cup and then put it together against Everton. The fans can rightly so get a bit nervous because they want to see us win."
