VIDEO: Southampton boss Mauricio Pochettino gives full backing to Artur Boruc
SOUTHAMPTON boss Mauricio Pochettino has given his unequivocal support to Artur Boruc after the keeper made a comical mistake in the defeat against Arsenal.
Boruc tried to play himself out of trouble but over-elaborated and ended up conceding a soft goal.
But despite his calamitous mistake, Pochettino refused to blame Boruc for the defeat.
He said: "Football players don't need to apologise to team-mates.

"These things can happen. Footballers can have amazing performances or they can have a bad day.
"Today it happened to him. The main thing is to support each other and keep on moving forward.
"They need to live with these mistakes. We need to accept it and move on and we support Artur Boruc 100%."
