Steven Gerrard has given Aaron Ramsey his highest praise, calling the Arsenal man "the best attacking midfielder in the Premier League". Ramsey has since tweeted that he was honoured to hear Gerrard's compliments.

"For me, when he's in that form, he's the best attacking midfielder in the Premier League.
