Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster is named the Premier League Player of the Month for February.

Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster has been named the Premier League Player of the Month for February.

The England international had a record-breaking month by going 708 minutes without conceding a goal.

Forster kept three clean sheets in February, managing to prevent Arsenal from scoring in a goalless draw at the Emirates on February 2.

"It's obviously fantastic to win the award, but it's just another incentive to keep working hard and work as hard as I can until the end of the season," Forster told Southampton's official website.

"I think it was a good month all round. We put in a lot of good performances as a team with a good run of clean sheets. If you're doing that then it's easier to win games."

Forster is the first goalkeeper to win the award since November 2013 when Newcastle United's Tim Krul took it home.
