Arsenal 0-0 Southampton - 5 Talking Points

#2 Forster turns in a MOTM performance

Forster was instrumental in earning a point for Southampton

Arsenal ended up the game having had 10 shots on target, but without scoring, a league high. Southampton had Frazer Forster to thank for that, as the English keeper kept up his good form since his return from injury, as he is yet to concede a goal in the 4 matches he has played since his comeback.

Forster’s save from Ozil’s deft control and shot at the start was only a sign of things to come. The Englishman made himself big to thwart Ozil from close range when he seemed certain to score, while fantastically turning away Giroud’s right footed curler past the post in the second half. A double save to keep out Theo Walcott soon followed, as Forster made 10 saves in total to keep out Arsenal.

Southampton owe a lot of their recent uptick in form to their goalkeeper, and their manager is well aware of it, saying “We had good defending and great goalkeeper. He is a fantastic goalkeeper. Sometimes you think you can't score because he is massive. Maybe today was his best performance. We are happy he is the keeper of Southampton.”
