Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl believes Fraser Forster has earned the trust of the team.
The shot-stopper is second choice to Alex McCarthy this season in the Premier League, but he has shone in the FA Cup.
Forster has demonstrated that when needed, he can still do a fantastic job in between the sticks.
The Austrian boss told theDaily Echo: "We have two good goalkeepers and we will also in the future have the situation that we rotate or give the other one the chance to play.
"He (Forster) took the chances. He made a good job in the cup, made a good job against Liverpool at home and he again played a good game.
"He showed we can trust him and he deserved to play.
"That doesn't mean that Alex will not play anymore – he will also get his games in this season again and it's good to have two good goalkeepers. I trust both.
"Both have made a big development in their game, especially with the ball. We learned them to be calm, to play out from behind.
"When you compare Fraser to last season, where he was on loan, afterwards we said 'he must play more football'.
"He showed it now with how much he can learn – then he is a better package now."
