“It was like two sets of clowns playing with each other. The defence… Spurs going forward was very good,” the former Aston Villa striker said. talkSPORT Friday.
“Manchester United woke up a bit in the second half thanks to some mistakes from Forster, but the defence, fantastic.
“I hit the Southampton defence, but great. I don't blame Forster at all, I blame the manager and the rest of the players.
Regarding Forster’s mistake-riddled performance, Agbonlahor continued: “Forster, how long has he been around now, he is 37 years old. He has always been a shot-stopper, never a two-footed stopper.
“I've played with a lot of goalkeepers who, if they were playing now, would be just like Forster. They don't want that.”
