Israeli goalkeeper Daniel Peretz is experiencing a remarkable turnaround for Southampton, achieving three consecutive league matches without conceding a goal after a difficult start to the season. Peretz, who conceded in each of his first eight league games, has now kept his net clean for 270 consecutive minutes. This streak began with a 1-0 victory over Portsmouth, continued with a 1-0 win against Norwich, and culminated in a 0-0 draw with Bolton on Saturday. During these three games, Peretz made nine saves, three per match, without letting any in.
Peretz's current run puts him in contention for club records, though the all-time Southampton record for consecutive clean sheets stands at eight games, set in August 1922. More recently, in 2016, under manager Ronald Koeman, Southampton achieved six consecutive clean sheets in league play, and later that year, they matched that feat across all competitions, including a 0-0 draw with Hapoel Be'er Sheva in the Europa League.
Historically, Southampton's most impressive season for clean sheets was 1921/22, when they played in the third tier of English football and recorded 26 shutouts in 42 league games, a record still recognized by the English Football League. For comparison, Fraser Forster recorded 14 Premier League clean sheets for Southampton in the 2016/17 season.
Last season, Peretz himself had strong performances after joining in January, keeping eight clean sheets in 22 Championship appearances and contributing to a 21-game unbeaten league run. He also secured a clean sheet in a 1-0 FA Cup win against Fulham. While the club's historical records are still distant, Peretz's current form indicates he is on a positive trajectory.
