Walker-Peters calls for defensive improvement after Southampton loss
Kyle Walker-Peters wants West Ham to sort out their defending after the 3-2 defeat by Southampton. The Hammers conceded twice in the opening 11 minutes, and their comeback fell short despite goals from Walker-Peters and Tomáš Souček.
Speaking to West Ham Official, Walker-Peters said the team had not started well enough and needed to assess its work as a defensive unit. He felt West Ham improved in attack after falling behind, but conceding a third goal before half-time hurt their recovery. He said they would take those attacking positives into the next game against West Bromwich Albion.
