Ralf Fährmann: We’re not playing like a side bottom of the league

Four games, four clean sheets – Ralf Fährmann has been Schalke’s first-choice goalkeeper since matchday 18 and is yet to concede a goal at all this season. After Sunday’s (19/2) goalless draw in Berlin, he has now played 360 minutes without letting a goal in, though Union rarely threatened yesterday. Nevertheless, ‘Ralle’ still had to make a good save from Danilho Doekhi’s effort in the 23rd minute, tipping his left-footed strike over the bar.
