The Tottenham Hotspur youngster was in fine form against Bournemouth yesterday.
When speaking to reporters after yesterday’s thrilling 5-0 win over Bournemouth, Tottenham defender Kyle Walker-Peters admitted that he surprised himself by registering three assists in the first half of the game, as quoted by the club’s official website.
Spurs have been quite simply magnificent this season, and they currently sit in second spot in the Premier League table, just six points adrift of league leaders Liverpool.
Many fans and pundits wrote Tottenham off at the start of the season, after Mauricio Pochettino failed to sign a single player during the summer transfer window.
The Argentine has always believed in his players, however, especially the younger crop of stars coming through the ranks at the club.
Kyle Walker-Peters is one of those, and he was excellent yesterday against Bournemouth, chalking up three assists in the first half.
The 21-year-old spoke to reporters after the match, and thanked his teammates for finishing off the chances that he created, as quoted by the club’s official website:
“I’m just as surprised as everyone else, but I’m happy with it. I have to thank the players that finished my crosses or my passes, you know, their quality got me the assists.”
Next up for Tottenham is a home game against Wolves on Saturday, and Walker-Peters has surely given Pochettino an incredibly difficult decision to make.
Poch obviously trusts the young right-back, and his performance yesterday was surely enough for him to keep his place against the Black Country outfit.
