Aaron Ramsey is delighted with Team GB's progression to the quarter-finals and continual improvement.

Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey has revealed his delight after Team GB's progression to the quarter-finals of the Olympic football tournament.

Great Britain's 1-0 win over Uruguay in their final group game ensured that they topped group A, with South Korea their next opponents in Cardiff.

Ramsey, who played an important part in the victory, was delighted with qualification and said that Team GB are "getting stronger" as the tournament progresses.

"I'm absolutely over the moon," Ramsey told BBC Sport. "We knew this team had the qualities and we proved it again tonight.

"We can move the ball around quickly and we were under pressure for the last 25 minutes but coped really well with that. We're getting stronger as the tournament goes on. So we're looking forward to the quarter-finals."

Britain's game with South Korea is at 7.30pm on August 4.
