Bernd Leno has spoken frankly about his part in the goal that ended our long unbeaten streak on Sunday.
Our goalkeeper has been outstanding since making his Premier League debut against Watford at the end of September, but he made a rare error at St Mary’s. Bernd got fingertips on Shane Long’s cross but couldn’t divert the ball away from Charlie Austin’s head.
“The last goal was a little bit unlucky for me,” said Bernd. “I wanted to get the cross because Austin was completely free and it was so close.
“No risk, no fun. Maybe next time I will get the ball or I will stay on the line, look at the ball and then nobody says ‘you came out and didn’t get the ball’.
