Kaizer Chiefs coach Arthur Zwane has defended goalkeeper Brandon Petersen by pointing to a leaky defence for conceding three goals against Golden Arrows.
Chiefs suffered their eighth defeat of the season with a 3-2 loss to Arrows at the Peter Mokaba Stadium on Sunday.

"Realistically, we can't blame him [Brandon Peterson] for conceding the three goals," Zwane said post-match.
"I think the defenders could have done better to help him and the midfielders because it's a team sport.
"Unfortunately, he conceded three goals, but as I said, it's our responsibility now to lift him because he has been doing well.
"There is nothing he could have done in those goals according to me. As I said in terms of defending, we should have done better."
Kaizer Chiefs next face Orlando Pirates in a Soweto derby at FNB Stadium on Saturday.
Kick-off is at 15:30.
