Southampton goalkeeper Forster: Victory over Arsenal feels fantastic

Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster hailed their victory over Arsenal.

Jan Bednarek scored the game's only goal late in the first half after the Gunners had failed to adequately deal with a Saints corner.

Forster said: "It feels fantastic. It was a great reaction. Obviously last week was hard [against Chelsea]. There has been a lot of soul searching during the week, but it shows the desire of the squad.

"The lads were keen to show a reaction and work hard during the week, and that hard work has paid off.

"There were some nice saves in there. It's always nice to contribute and keep a clean sheet. It's a goalkeeper's dream, really.

"Ideally we'd like to finish in the top half. If we want to do that we've got some work to do. We're hoping for a strong finish between now and the end of the season.

"I'm just working as hard as ever, trying to keep improving my game and see where that takes me."
