Walker-Peters impressed by Southampton friendly win

Southampton fullback Kyle Walker-Peters enjoyed their friendly win against Swansea City.

Saints followed up Tuesday's 4-0 win at Cardiff with another comfortable victory, this time 3-1 over Swansea, with Nathan Tella, Nathan Redmond and Stuart Armstrong all on target inside the first 60 minutes.

"I think it was really good," Walker-Peters said of the Swansea triumph. “We've been working on a few new tactics in training, and I think today we really showed that we're getting used to them and starting to gel more as a team within those tactics, so it was a positive result.

“It's a great feeling. You want to create that winning environment and that's what we're doing here, so long may it continue.

“We've been working on keeping clean sheets, which, as a defender like myself, is very important. We were glad to get the clean sheet in the last game. Today it was a bit unlucky for Sali, but we'll let it slide!"
