Arsenal star Myles Lewis-Skelly has made history after scoring on his England debut against Albania.

On Friday night, Thomas Tuchel got his first taste as England's new head coach as the Three Lions took on Albania in a 2026 World Cup qualifier.

Former Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich and Chelsea boss Tuchel agreed to become England boss in October after the departure of Gareth Southgate.

In January, Tuchel began his role as Three Lions boss but had to wait two months to take charge of his first official match.

During his first match in charge, the German gave full debuts to the likes of Lewis-Skelly and Newcastle United defender Dan Burn.

England dominated the match from the get-go as they looked to break through the stubborn Albanian defence.

Eventually, with 20 minutes on the clock, England opened the scoring as Lewis-Skelly got on the end of a stunning Jude Bellingham pass.

Inside the penalty area, the 18-year-old showed immense calmness to slot the ball into the back of the net.

By scoring on his senior England debut, Lewis-Skelly has created a piece of history.

As per Opta Joe, who wrote on social media: "Aged 18 years and 176 days, Myles Lewis-Skelly is the youngest player in history to score on his senior England debut, surpassing Marcus Rashford's record of 18 years and 209 days v Australia in May 2016."

Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, former England defender Matt Upson said: "I think Thomas Tuchel struggled to hide a smile there - he was so happy with that goal. Jude Bellingham plays a huge part in Myles Lewis-Skelly scoring. The weight of the pass, Bellingham was very central, and he does a lovely turn and comes back on himself.

"It is a simple run, but Lewis-Skelly sees the opening and he goes for it. It's a simple pass into the net."
