Artur Boruc promises to make amends

Southampton goalkeeper Artur Boruc has vowed to earn back the two points his team dropped against Stoke City after he was caught out by a freak Asmir Begovic goal.

The Polish international was duped by the wind as the Potters keeper found the back of the net with a goal kick 13 seconds into the match at the Britannia Stadium.

Jay Rodriguez's goal just before half time ensured that the Saints left with a point, but Boruc was regretful following the match.

"This is my job and I should protect those kind of situations and in the end I didn't do anything," Sky Sports News quotes the 33-year-old as saying.

"That cost us two points and it is hard for the lads because they put a lot of effort into today's game and probably deserved three points.

"What can I say? I can promise I will get those two points back."

The result leaves the South Coast club fifth in the Premier League.
