​Southampton manager Hasenhuttl heaps praise on McCarthy

Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl is full of praise for his shot stopper Alex McCarthy.

The keeper was in fine form against Wolves on Monday night, making eight saves in the 1-1 draw.

McCarthy has four clean sheets in nine games, more than any top flight keeper in England this season.

When asked about the Wolves game and McCarthy, Hasenhuttl told reporters: "He was fantastic.

"When you see his goalkeeping now compared to one year ago, we have stats on how high he plays now and how calm he is on the ball, how good his decision making is with the ball.

"There has been some massive work done with the goalkeepers from my goalkeeping coach (Andrew Sparkes), massive praise for the work they all do.

"We must develop every player but also the goalkeeper. He (McCarthy) did a very good job."
