TEENAGER Tyler Dibling has been named in the Premier League team of the week following his goal against Ipswich on Saturday.
The 18 year old gave Southampton the lead against the Tractor Boys after just five minutes, scoring his first senior goal.
Dibling remained composed in the box to beat Jacob Greaves with his first touch, having been played in by Adam Lallana, before sending Arijanet Muric the wrong way.
