West Brom striker Charlie Austin says Fraser Forster deserved better at Southampton.

Forster is currently on loan with Celtic after falling down the pecking order at St Mary's.

Former Saints striker Austin told Open Goal: “He was unfortunate that Joe Hart was England number one while he played for Man City.

“When I went there [Southampton], he was top drawer. The best goalie I've played with I would say.

“It was a strange one. Him and Al McCarthy were very good together.

“Then they brought in Angus Gunn and just left him as fourth choice. It was mad."
