Keeper Forster: All Southampton players responsible for defensive record

Southampton keeper Fraser Forster says the whole team should take credit for their excellent defensive record. Forster has kept 11 clean sheets in the Premier League, the best record among top-flight keepers this season.

Saints have conceded just 17 goals in the league, the fewest of any of the 92 league clubs in English football.

"As a team we are proud. We defend from the front, work very hard out of possession and put teams under pressure," Forster said.

"It's credit to the team, and the back four have been so important in limiting teams' opportunities against us.

"If you can keep it 0-0 as long as possible, with the quality we've got up front, we're always going to score goals," he added to BBC Radio Solent.
