It is a goal that young Ramsey deserves for all the hard work that he has put in for the team in the games he’s played this season. Composure and belief were the abilities on display for the goal, highlighting the phenomenal dribbling capabilities he possesses also.

It was a truly special goal, and one that many top midfielders in the league would be proud of scoring.

Ramsey would burst onto the loose ball, and proceeded to go on a spectacular run through a sea of yellow and green, before smashing the ball past ‘keeper Tim Krul with his weaker left foot. His goal, coming in the 34th minute, stemmed from a counter-attack down the Villa left, where Ollie Watkins teed the 20-year-old up on the half-way line. Jacob Ramsey also looked like he could make a difference with plenty of intricate play on the ball and relentless work out of possession too, interchanging the ball nicely down the right with full-back Matty Cash. John McGinn looked bright, as did Emiliano Buendia who was playing against his former side for the first time since his big money move in the summer. Villa had made a bright start to the game, and certainly looked the better side, as they dominated possession and saw a number of early chances go their way. Thankfully for JJ, that next goal would finally come and in some style too! It was a goal that Steven Gerrard himself would be proud of during his playing days, and is surely an early contender for the goal of the month accolade.

His first goal for the club was the curling consolation strike in the 3-1 defeat at the Emirates Stadium against Arsenal in October, and in the couple of months since, the number forty-one has come ever so close to bagging his second. The 21-year-old was unlucky not to have scored his second Aston Villa goal a couple games ago against Leicester City, after VAR drama saw his tap-in chalked off for a foul on shot-stopper Kasper Schmeichel. Jacob Ramsey is one of the many players that have improved this season since Steven Gerrard’s appointment, and it is fair to say that he is now a staple in the starting eleven. Let’s take a look at the standout moments in the 2-0 win over Norwich City, in this week’s edition of ‘Talking Points’! Jacob Ramsey’s breathtaking goal Goals from Jacob Ramsey and Ollie Watkins were enough to secure the victory, placing the Villans into 10th in the table and just three points off Tottenham Hotspur in 7th, who occupy the Europa Conference League qualification place. On an emotional day that saw Dean Smith play against his former club for the first time since his sacking, it was Aston Villa who prevailed and took all three points back to the Midlands.
