Does every time he scores deaths occur?

According to figures from Transfermarkt, Ramsey has scored 80 goals during his career at club and national level; only 20 goals scored by the Welshman have been linked to some death or two, that is, only 25% of the time the curse has stricken. In fact, the Arsenal player made a hat trick against Everton in February 2018, which led to several jokes in social networks. However, no 'celebrity' death occurred after the three goals, according to Mundo Deportivo.

What does Ramsey say about this?

In a statement reviewed by the newspaper El Mundo, journalist Alex Diamond asked Ramsey about these rumors, to which the player replied that "Several people have told me about these stories but I have not scored so many goals either. Recently I have written down a few, after which nobody has died, thank God." He also added that the supposed curse is a "stupid rumor" that he does not find funny.
