Ramsey looks to push on

Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey has vowed to make up for lost time next season.

Ramsey dedicated his winning goal against Manchester United to all the people who helped him get back onto the pitch after an horrific broken leg.
The 20-year-old Wales captain spent nine months in rehabilitation after suffering a double leg fracture following a tackle by Stoke City's Ryan Shawcross, and had loan spells with former club Cardiff City and Nottingham Forest to help build up his match fitness.
The United match was only his second Barclays Premier League start of the season for Arsenal after captain Cesc Fabregas had been ruled out with a thigh injury.
But the youngster, signed from Cardiff in a £5m deal in June 2008, produced a composed display which was capped when he slotted home the winner nine minutes into the second half.
Ramsey now hopes, with his nightmare firmly behind him, that next season will prove a breakthrough campaign.
"Scoring the goal was a special moment for me. This was worth the wait and so many people have helped me through the tough time I had," Ramsey said.
"Hopefully this will give them the same satisfaction as it does me. After these remaining games, hopefully I can come back and have a good pre-season, and then go again next year."
