Koeman: Forster injury does not look good

Koeman celebrated his 52nd birthday with three points, but saw Forster replaced after 10 minutes by veteran Kelvin Davis, who played an important role in Southampton's victory.

Davis made first-half saves from Sam Vokes and Danny Ings before Shane Long gave the home side the lead.

"Fraser Forster is at hospital and it is looking bad," Koeman told BBC Sport.

"We have to wait for the scan. I hope it will be OK for him but the doctor is not positive."

"It is good to have an experienced goalkeeper on the bench and he showed his qualities," added Koeman.

"It was a difficult first half, they had one or two very good chances but Kelvin was saving them.

"The second half was very good, we dominated it with good ball possession. A good win."
