Ronald Koeman insists that hos first team Goalie Fraser Foster is one of the Europe's best hands at the post after holding Table Toppers Chelsea for a draw at Stamford Bridge.
Having fallen behind early on to a Diego Costa header, the visitors restored parity within eight minutes as Dusan Tadic tucked home a penalty following Nemanja Matic's clumsy tackle on Sadio Mane.
Mane and Shane Long were among Southampton's best players, but Koeman reserved special praise for Forster
Koeman named a positive attacking side in a bid to take advantage of any Chelsea fatigue following their Champions League last-16 exit to Paris Saint-Germain after extra time on Wednesday.
"[Forster] was fantastic in the difficult moments.He helped the team. We know he's one of the best in Europe.It's very positive. A great result from a difficult match.We had a fantastic reaction after the fast 1-0 that they scored. I think we were the dominant team in the first half.We had the best chances to score the second one after the 1-1 but in the second half it was more difficult. Shane Long and Sadio Mane played well and it was a good tandem in front." Koeman told the club's official website.
