Schwarzer: 'I knew where Walters would go'

Mark Schwarzer has said that studying video footage allowed him to correctly guess where Jonathan Walters would place in his penalty.

The Fulham goalkeeper successfully blocked Walters's spot kick in the 1-0 win over Stoke City earlier today.

After the match, the 40-year-old told Sky Sports News: "We looked at video footage before the game so I was confident I knew where he was going to go. I was lucky enough to get behind it.

"Any time you don't concede a goal is important. We needed the points today. You know what you are going to get from Stoke and it is especially vital at home to pick up three points."

A first-half strike from Dimitar Berbatov moved Fulham up to 11th in the table.
