Following the absence of Marc Guehi through injury, the 19-year-old was thrown into his first top-flight start in a high-stakes clash.
The France U21 international did not disappoint as he responded with a confident, commanding performance in Sunday’s 0-0 draw.
"I'm happy because I helped the team today," Canvot told the club website.
"We didn’t win, but that was a good game. That was a good derby. We just played like we play every time, so yeah, I'm happy.
"And a clean sheet! I'm a defender, so I don't have to score a lot of goals, but yeah, that was good. Everybody did an incredible performance. (Mitchell) was very good too, yeah.
"I hope I can do a lot (more starts) after that, you know. I'm a competitor, I'm a football player, so I want to play all the games I can. So yeah, I just want to play every time and help the team."
