Southampton's Fraser Forster: Concedes two in loss

Forster did not make a save and added three claims while conceding twice and picking up a yellow card in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Arsenal.

Analysis:

After an early goal, Forster faced an abundance of pressure from the Arsenal attack, who eventually broke through just inside the half-hour mark. While the balance of play shifted to-and-fro, Forster's goal was never directly threatened as he did not make a save for the afternoon. In stoppage time, Jose Fonte brought down Olivier Giroud and Santi Cazorla converted a penalty late, which snatched a (deserved) point out of Southampton's grasp. With a crowded fixture list upcoming, Forster, who has struggled with fitness throughout his career, may find himself outside the XI for some of the Saints' Europa League matches in an effort to keep him fresh.
