Koeman delighted as Southampton boast best defensive record of ALL FOUR divisions

Southampton boss Ronald Koeman was delighted with another cleansheet for victory over Leicester City.

They have scored 12 unanswered in the league and have the best defensive record in the top four flights of English football.

Koeman said the defence is deserving of just as much praise as the individual attacking talents of Dusan Tadic and Graziano Pelle.

"We have four very good defenders. Ryan Bertrand is playing fantastically at a very high level and it is not a surprise that Nathaniel Clyne has been selected for England.

"Toby Alderweireld and Jose Fonte together as the centre-backs are fantastic."
