Southampton were victorious over West Bromwich Albion in their Sunday afternoon fixture at St Mary's. The Saints banked their second win of the season thanks to goals from Moussa Djenepo and Oriol Romeu.

Despite the confident win, one man had a less than convincing performance in defence. New signing Kyle Walker-Peters was a passenger in the Saints bck-line, with his teammates putting in the graft to ensure they kept a clean sheet on home soil.

Kyle Walker-Peters stats

One recurring issue with the former Spurs man is his ability to keep hold of the ball. According to Sofascore, Walker-Peters lost possession a worrying 22 times and was successful in just six of his 14 attempted duels. His previous performance against Burnley was a similar display – losing the ball 19 times and failing to make a single tackle, interception or clearance.

The 23-year-old's worst game in Southampton colours statistically came against Manchester United at the end of last season. The 2-2 tie saw Walker-Peters earn a poor Sofascore rating of 5.8 after losing possession 21 times and being dribbled past three times.

Potential worries moving forward with Southampton

After Spurs came knocking with an offer for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, the Saints took an eye for an eye and brought in the right-back for a fee of £12million (via Daily Mail). Luckily, Southampton's back-line and Alex McCarthy have been strong so far this campaign, painting over the subpar performances from the England youth international.

Winning two of their four games played is a solid start for Ralph Hasenhuttl's side, but he may need to rethink his options on the right-hand side. With Yan Valery available as his disposal, the 53-year-old might change up his tactics to avoid being exposed by strong left wingers like Sadio Mane, Raheem Sterling and Son Heung-min moving forwards.
