Roy Hodgson praised Vicente Guaita after the Spanish shot stopper’s Man of the Match winning performance to keep a clean sheet on Saturday.
Asked in his pre-match press conference for his opinion on Guaita as a free transfer, Hodgson highlighted the strength of the club’s recent loans and free signings and also the strength in depth of their goalkeeping options.
He said: I think we’ve been pretty lucky with our free transfers and loans over the last two-and-a-half years so I would put him up there with people who deserve to be named in that category.
