Southampton's winning streak was halted on Saturday as they were held to a 0-0 draw at home against Bolton. The result leaves the Saints in seventh place after the 11th round of matches. Goalkeeper Daniel Peretz, however, could find some satisfaction in the performance, as he kept a clean sheet for the third consecutive game. "We are frustrated, of course," Peretz stated to the official club website after the final whistle. "At home, we want to win every game. We were more dominant, but again we were too sloppy. We can't afford to get into the game too late, waiting until the 70th or 80th minute to be more dangerous."
Peretz acknowledged the defensive effort, noting, "On the positive side, we were very responsible and clinical in defense. Our defensive game was good, but we couldn't score, so we are frustrated. We had a good week, not too good. We wanted nine points, but defensively, three clean sheets in a week is amazing." He added that the team worked on improving defensive details during the international break, emphasizing that defense is a collective effort. "The defense is 11 players, not just me and the defenders, so I compliment the team greatly on this achievement. But again, we definitely wanted to win."
This marks the first time since joining Southampton in January of last season that Peretz has gone three consecutive games without conceding. He was named man of the match by Flashscore with a rating of 7.6, received a similar score from Sofascore, and a 6.8 from WhoScored.
