MANAGER Russell Martin and defender Kyle Walker-Peters have been named in the latest Sky Bet Championship team of the week.
Martin oversaw a dramatic 5-3 comeback win over Huddersfield Town on Saturday, which extended Southampton's unbeaten run to 25 games.
Walker-Peters, who was making his 150th appearance for the club, played another full 90 minutes at right back.
The two-time England international completed the most dribbles (five) and won the most duels (eight) of any player.
