Alex McCarthy - Stands tall in lossMcCarthy made seven saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-0 loss against Nottingham Forest.

ImpactMcCarthy was kept on his toes Saturday, turning aside seven of eight shots on target as Southampton fell 1 - 0 at the hands of Nottingham Forest. The saves were McCarthy's first of the campaign, after failing to save the lone shot on target during Southampton's opening match. The veteran keeper looks to have laid claim to the number one keeper's gloves at Southampton and should find himself between the sticks as Southampton head to London to square-off against Brentford next Saturday.

An attempted clearance gone awry off the head of a Southampton defender landed at the boot of Gibbs-White inside the six years box, who made no mistake.

He has now scored once and played all but one minute of Nottingham Forest's first two Premier League matches of the 2024 - 2025 campaign.
