Schwarz 'EPL's Best Stopper'

Fulham's number two stopper Pascal Zuberbuhler has labelled his club goalkeeping teammate Mark Schwarzer 'the best in the Premier League'.

The experienced former Swiss international, who has played second fiddle to the Australian since arriving at Craven Cottage, praised Schwarzer after taking Fulham to an unexpected European spot last season.

"Petr Cech, Pepe Reina, Edwin Van der Sar, they're all very good goalkeepers. But for me Mark Schwarzer is the best - the real number one," he told the Fulham official website.

"He had a fantastic season and I think he deserves all the recognition he gets, because he was one of Fulham's most important players last year. We won quite a few points and games thanks to Mark's form between the posts.

"Some of the saves we saw were truly world-class. If a team wants to be successful on the pitch they need a strong keeper and Fulham have that with Mark."

Schwarzer was recently named Fulham's player of the season for 2008/2009 along with FFA Australian Footballer of the Year.
