Welsh football united in the praise of Aaron Ramsey after his virtuoso display in Saturday's 3-0 win over Scotland confirmed that the principality has a sparkling gem on its hands.[LNB]The Arsenal youngster, still only 18, was involved in all three goals, including a magnificent solo effort.[LNB] Golden boy: Aaron Ramsey has been compared to Cesc Fabregas[LNB]Former Wales boss Bobby Gould likened him to Duncan Edwards. Former captain Gary Speed was quick to point out the shades of Cesc Fabregas in his play. But it was colleague David Edwards, who played against him last week for Wolverhampton Wanderers and with him on Saturday, who offered the most relevant perspective.[LNB]'He's not 19 until Christmas,' said Edwards. 'He's going to be a great, one of the best in Europe when he reaches his prime. I've been told he's like Cesc Fabregas was at that age.[LNB]'I played against Aaron last week. He was probably Arsenal's best player. He ran the show. He has such a mature head on those shoulders.[LNB]'I think he will go on to be every bit as good as Fabregas. It's a big comparison to make but Aaron has little touches like Fabregas has. When I played against him last week, I thought - dare I say it - that he was better than his team-mate.'[LNB] Wales 3 Scotland 0: Burley suffers humiliation as Ramsey rips Scots apartArsenal face striker crisis as Dutch FA confirm Robin van Persie has torn ankle ligaments [LNB] [LNB]  Explore more:People:Gary Speed, Cesc FabregasPlaces:Scotland, Europe
