Callum Wilson marked his England debut with a goal.
Loading…
The Bournemouth striker has been bagging goals for fun this season, netting six Premier League goals. He was rewarded for his early form with an England call-up.
Gareth Southgate named Wilson in his England squad for games against U.S.A & Croatia, and even started the 26-year-old against the Americans.
Wilson repaid Southgate's faith by scoring on his England bow.
He made it 3-0 in the 77th minute with a tidy finish. Fabian Delph, who started the fixture as captain, whipped in a delightful ball into the box which was met by Wilson who flicked the ball into the back of the net.

It's a remarkable footballing journey for Wilson who was playing second-tier football not long ago, not to mention suffering a major setback in the shape of a serious knee injury.
Great to see @CallumWilson score on his debut. Great example of how important an indomitable spirit is. :clap:
