# Celtic: Fans laud Fraser Forster after last-gasp save against Lazio

**It was [Christopher Jullien’s 89th-minute header](https://www.skysports.com/football/celtic-vs-lazio/report/420491) that proved the match-winning moment for Celtic in last night’s Europa League clash against Lazio at Parkhead, but the centre-back and his team-mates would soon owe a huge debt of gratitude to their last line of defence for ensuring that the score remained 2-1.**

In the fourth minute of stoppage time, Celtic struggled to clear their lines as Lazio poured forward in search of an equaliser. The ball dropped to Danilo Cataldi, whose powerful first-time volley looked destined for the top corner of the net. \[[via UEFA.com](https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/video/highlights/videoid=2630201.html)\]

However, as noted by [@CelticFC](https://twitter.com/celticfc/status/1187471923841617920?s=21) on Twitter, Hoops goalkeeper Fraser Forster came up with a sublime save, showing [incredibly quick reactions to get across](https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/video/highlights/videoid=2630201.html) and push the ball away to get Celtic over the line.

It was [the last of four saves](https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1427266/Live/Europe-UEFA-Europa-League-2019-2020-Celtic-Lazio) that the 31-year-old made on the night, with the Southampton loanee also doing excellently to [thwart Ciro Immobile from close range](https://www.skysports.com/football/celtic-vs-lazio/report/420491) with the score at 1-1 earlier in the game.

These Celtic fans on Twitter expressed their immense appreciation for Forster after his stoppage time heroics:
