Southampton keeper Boruc admits Begovic goal no one-off

Southampton goalkeeper Artur Boruc admits conceding against Stoke City's Asmir Begovic was no one-off.

It is not the first time Boruc has been beaten from distance but he admits the previous occasion was in a youth game.

"The last time it happened I was a kid and it was on pitches without the stands and a bad surface," said the Pole after conceding only his fourth goal in 10 league matches this season.

"I knew it was going to be bad conditions so it's a big thing in the warm-up to do it properly. I was very angry to concede.

"To be honest I didn't have enough time to judge the ball especially after the bounce, I knew that I was in the middle of nowhere. The thing is, that's a goalkeeper's life and sometimes that situation happens and you need to bounce back as soon as possible.

"For the next game in a week's time, I'll take time to prepare properly myself.

"I promise to everybody that I will get those two points back."
