Fellow Academy graduate James Tomkins scored the second goal whilst putting in a fine all round performance.
"I couldn't have asked for a better start," Junior told the official site. "It was my full debut, I came on against West Brom a couple of weeks ago but this was my first start. A goal, three points and a clean sheet, it can't get much better than that."
"It was a great feeling, I've been dreaming about if for years now so for me to start in the Premier League and score as well was amazing."
