Watch: Myles Lewis-Skelly scores a record-breaking goal on his debut for England

Young striker, Myles Lewis-Skelly had a dream start to his national career in the England national team, scoring a goal against Albania at Wembley on Friday. Under the new coaching administration, Thomas Tuchel, the young Arsenal star, justified his talent in the Three Lions' opening match with the German manager. 

At just 18 years and 176 days old, Lewis-Skelly set a new record as the youngest player to score on his senior England debut, surpassing Manchester United's striker Marcus Rashford, who held the previous record at 18 years and 209 days when he scored against Australia, nearly a decade ago in 2016.

Playing against Albania in an important World Cup qualifier, in front of a jam-packed crowd at Wembley, Skelly perfectly linked up with Galacticos star Jude Bellingham to net his goal. Jude foxed an Albanian midfielder and played a perfect through ball to Skelly who kicked it past the goalkeeper's leg in the 20th minute.

England got off to a flying start in their journey to World Cup qualification as they beat Albania 2-0. The new manager was in awe of Skelly as he praised the youngster for his skills and love for the sport.

"Amazing player. Amazing personality. He came into camp and showed straight away that it's normal to fall in love with him. It is well deserved," Tuchel said.

"We hope for more impact in these positions. More dribbling and more aggressive runs towards the box. In general that was missing. The chances come from the little runs behind the line. There was a bit missing they were not as decisive as they can be," he added.

England and their young winger will continue their FIFA World Cup qualification journey in the coming days. England are next scheduled to face Latvia in an important home fixture on March 24th.
