Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has praised the behind-the-scenes work of Fraser Forster.

The England international deputised brilliantly for Alex McCarthy in the win over Liverpool last Monday, his first competitive match in 10 months.

"It shows how good the guys are working with the goalkeeper coach and how strong they have developed every part of their game so far," said Hasenhuttl.

"I think this is a good signal for us that we immediately have a 'number one B' that steps in and plays a fantastic game.

"A clean sheet against Liverpool in the first game, this is fantastic for us."
