Saturday’s defeat has seemingly dampened the mood around Southampton after weeks of brilliant results for the south coast side, but there was a clear shining light from last weekend’s loss to Burnley.
Despite the result, really happy to make my @southamptonfc debut yesterday. We go again next Saturday! #SaintsFC pic.twitter.com/UJksrB8nEr

Kyle Walker-Peters made his long-awaited debut for the Saints in horrendous conditions as Storm Dennis made its presence known as the rain and wind battered the south of England, yet the 22-year-old Tottenham loanee impressed in his first start for Southampton, with the defender playing 73 minutes and completing three dribbles as stats from WhoScored show.
Will Kyle Walker-Peters be a success at Southampton?
No
Yes
And lots of Southampton fans on social media were pleased with what they saw from the fullback, with Walker-Peters’ performance exciting supporters about what else they can expect from the youngster for the remainder of the season.
