The national newspapers’ views on Norwich City’s 0-0 draw at home to Southampton.
Sunday Mirror: “Artur Boruc was transformed from hate figure to hero as Southampton secured a vital point towards Premier League salvation.”
The Mail on Sunday: “Southampton manager Mauricio Pochettino could face a touchline ban after confronting referee Mark Clattenburg on the pitch at the end of the game.”
The Observer: “Norwich might have considered themselves lucky not to be trailing such was Southampton’s forward thrust in treacherous conditions.”
The Sunday Telegraph: “It was a controversial decision to give Norwich a penalty in the closing seconds, but Artur Boric ensured justice was done . . . and brilliantly denied Holt.”
The Independent: “Goalless draws are not exactly rare at Carrow Road – this was the fourth this season – but this one was achieved only after Boruc pulled off a superb save.”
Norwich City officials confirmed on Monday night the release of ten players from the club – headlined by the departure of Canadian international Simeon Jackson.

Telegraph Ralph, having gotten used to locating wildest Naaarfolk, is even trying to improve on the Soton goalie`s rhyme with `Norwich`, hence `Boruc` morphs into `Boric`. Nice one.
