Aaron Ramsey: 'Important for Arsenal to keep clean sheet against Stoke City'

Aaron Ramsey has expressed his happiness with Arsenal's clean sheet in Sunday's 3-0 win over Stoke City.

The Gunners were booed off at half time by a sparse and quiet crowd at the Emirates Stadium, following a tame first half by the hosts.

However, the second half saw Arsene Wenger's charges grab three goals in the last 15 minutes to claim all three points with what was a flattering scoreline.

"It was a difficult first half," the Wales international told Sky Sports News. "Sometimes that happens after the international break but it was important to us to stay in the game.

"We're delighted to get the three points. We were committed and it was important not to concede.

"The crowd was behind us. They were frustrated in the first half but they stuck with us, We don't let it affect us."

Arsenal remain sixth in the table, five points behind Chelsea, following the win at the Emirates.
