Stoke City 1-1 Southampton
Mark Hughes: “It was a fortunate goal, quite bizarre really, and we were grateful for it. I think he just wanted to get his foot through it. You could tell as soon as the two centre-halves made the decision to let it bounce the goalkeeper was going to be in trouble because it took a hop, skip and a jump and he was never going to get anywhere near it. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a goalkeeper do that, which was great for us.”
“We weren’t expecting our goalkeeper to do it for us but give him credit it was a great strike and he is very pleased with it. He is looking to score a few more he tells me.”
Mauricio Pochettino: “As a manager that is the first time I’ve had to experience a moment as unlucky as that. I don’t blame (Boruc) at all. I think it had more to do with the weather conditions, it was something completely unexpected, but we are aware these things can happen in football. He didn’t apologise for anything because he didn’t have to. The wind was changing gusts completely all the time and it is a ground which is open on three sides which makes it even more windy. It was a really tough game in terms of the weather conditions.”
