Bristol City attacker Jamie Paterson has taken to social networking site Twitter to give his reaction to Tyler Walker’s heroics for Stevenage on Saturday afternoon.

Walker scored two goals for Stevenage in their 6-1 hammering of Hartlepool United at home in League Two.

The 19-year-old forward, who joined Darren Sarll’s side on a season-long loan deal from Nottingham Forest in the summer transfer window, found the net first in the 44th minute and then on 57 minutes.

It was the talented teenager’s debut for Stevenage, and it was a memorable one.
