Aaron Ramsdale made a welcome return to the Southampton starting XI on Sunday wearing a special pair of four-fingered gloves to protect his recently fractured finger.
The 26-year-old goalkeeper had been sidelined for five Premier League games, during which the Saints conceded 15 goals and picked up just one point.
Ramsdale’s return was a boost for the struggling Saints, who are currently bottom of the Premier League.
The team has undergone a change in management, with Ivan Juric appointed as the new boss on an 18-month contract.
Juric, who has previously managed in Italy, replaces Russell Martin and will be tasked with turning around the team’s fortunes.
Sunday’s game against Fulham marked Juric’s first match in charge, and Ramsdale’s unique gloves were a notable feature of the encounter.
