The 5 best Aaron Ramsey moments since joining Arsenal

Aaron Ramsey looks set to leave Arsenal once his contract runs out this summer. It's a real shame to see as his legacy at the club is undeniable. The fans of Arsenal football club will never forget the Welshman for all he achieved, and for remaining loyal during the period of transition.

He's a real fan favourite at the club, and his presence isn't the only reason for that. He is also very talented with the ball at his feet, and more often, talented with the ball not at his feet.

His probing runs into space and his high level of footballing intellect will be missed, but there's no need to dwell. Here are the five goals in which Ramsey will be most remembered for during his time at Arsenal...

#5 Arsenal vs Liverpool (2-0) - November 2013

Aaron Ramsey has fond memories of playing against Liverpool.

Whenever Arsenal and Liverpool meet, it's usually a memorable one. The fixture holds a lot of sentimentalities, especially to the supporters. However, in recent history, Aaron Ramsey has been involved in plenty of these fiery matchups.

And back in 2013, it was no different. This is widely regarded as Ramsey's best season in an Arsenal shirt, and it may well be his best season ever, come his retirement. The Welshman gave the Gunners a glimmer of hope, and many pin their shortcomings that season on his unfortunate injury.

Having received the ball on the edge of the box via a scoop pass, Ramsey controlled the ball beautifully. He took a moment to compose himself, before going on to smash the ball into the top of Liverpool's net, exposing the goalkeeper who was in another world at the time.

The game finished 2-0 to Arsenal, and Ramsey's impact shouldn't go overlooked. This was his tenth goal of the season, and it was only November. Midfielders with this kind of goal scoring input don't come around often in the Premier League, do they?

All in all, it was a great goal, which capped off a great season for a great player. But it only takes the fifth spot in this list.

#4 Fulham vs Arsenal (1-5) - October 2018

Aaron Ramsey has stayed for long enough to endure a stint under Unai Emery

This is the most recent of the bunch, but it just had to get a place on this list. Not just for his finish, but also his involvement in the goal made this move a really impressive goal for Ramsey. I mean, the fact that it was within his first few touches of coming on also adds to the excitement of this goal.

Ramsey started the move using his fine footwork, before playing the ball out wide. The move progressed, with a number of fine flicks from his teammate, but it was Ramsey whose name was in lights as he backheeled the ball into the far corner.

The goal came once Arsenal fans had pretty much accepted that he would leave, but it still left a smile on their faces. It's a shame that he won't continue the impressive football under Unai Emery for much longer.

#3 Arsenal vs Chelsea (2-1) - May 2017

Scoring in a cup final is impressive enough, but when it's against your biggest rivals and the champions of England, it becomes even more impressive.

Chelsea were enduring a stellar season under Antonio Conte. After winning the Premier League with ease, they looked to get their hands on the double. That was until they came up against Aaron Ramsey.

Arsenal found themselves level on the scoresheet and needing a goal. Having led for most of the game, it didn't take for Ramsey to step up and grab the goal, not for the first time in a cup final.

Of all people, it was Olivier Giroud who played the cross into Ramsey, who was in the right place at the right time to head into the wide space. This goal was indicative of his space-exploiting skills and that's the trait in which Arsenal will miss the most.

#2 Galatasaray vs Arsenal (1-4) - December 2014

Ramsey's goal against Galatasaray still needs explaining.

If you haven't seen this goal already, then you seriously need to watch it. I mean, seriously.

The ball was whipped in from the corner flag by Joel Campbell, before being headed out by a defender. It felt to Ramsey, who hit it perfectly on the volley, and the ball took one of the most beautiful trajectories I've ever seen.

It is probably Ramsey's best ever goal, and not many will be able to tell their grandchildren they scored a goal of that calibre in the Champions League.

Arsenal won the game 4-1, so in the end, it wasn't too important. But that doesn't make the goal any less impressive, none of the factors does.

That said, there was only goal that is fit to take the number one spot, even though the finish itself isn't the best. If you haven't guessed already...

#1 Arsenal vs Hull City (3-2 AET) - May 2014

Scoring in the 2014 cup final was Ramsey's ultimate career moment.

Growing up as an Arsenal fan in this era, it started off as quite the rough ride. After the invincible season and the FA Cup win, there were 9 years which passed without a trophy.

While this is by no means a bad feat, by Arsenal's standards, this wasn't a good time. Obviously, a lot of factors played into this era, the most notorious being the transition from Highbury to Emirates Stadium.

Anyway, the chance came to put an end to this dreaded streak, and make amends for the league cup final loss to Birmingham a few years previous. Arsenal played Hull City in the FA Cup final, and it was the start of a new era.

They found themselves going two goals down early on, but they gave themselves a lifeline before the first half. As Laurent Koscielny equalised late on, the Gunners were given a chance in extra time.

It was as if by chance, Olivier Giroud who played the ball back to Aaron Ramsey, who only had one thing on his mind. He fired into the corner and ran the length of the pitch to celebrate. And rightly so.

This goal will forever remain in the hearts of the Arsenal faithful, and it's one of the many reasons why it's impossible to hate Aaron Ramsey. Had it not been for this goal, who knows what the current situation would be like?
