The England international has been undergoing a difficult campaign as he lost his No1 spot to David Raya, who arrived on loan from Brentford in the summer.
However, Raya couldn't play against his parent club and so Ramsdale returned between the sticks.
The 25-year-old had some shaky moments in the early stages of the game, but grew in confidence and snuffed out some late danger.
After the final whistle, Arteta and every Arsenal star approached Ramsdale and embraced him in a brilliant show of team unity as he strives for more minutes ahead of Euro 2024.

"Clearly a lot of love from all of the outfield players for the Gunners’ keeper."
One fan added: "Arteta hugs Ramsdale. The players rallied round him at full time. Lovely to see. The pressure must have been insane."
And that one stated: "You can tell Ramsdale is much loved by his teammates."
