“Jacob Ramsey does fantastically well, he really does,” Carragher told Sky Sports whilst he was reviewing Villa’s equaiser.
“We spoke about his poor first touch trying to take it onto his right foot earlier on (when going through on goal).

“Since Ramsey went deeper, he is having a real impact in the game. He is a top-quality player that young man.”
Ramsey burst onto the scene last year for Villa and was in turn offered a new five-year contract by Steven Gerrard last April.
The 21-year-old has continued to impress in the early stages of this season and will hope to add more assists and goals to his tally as the season progresses.
