'My heart started to pound' - New England hero Myles Lewis-Skelly opens up on making goal-scoring Three Lions debut under Thomas Tuchel as he heaps praise on Jude Bellingham

Premier League

Everton

Arsenal

<p>Lewis-Skelly spoke to reporters at Wembley Stadium after making his senior England debut as a starter in the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/england-player-ratings-albania-thomas-tuchel-myles-lewis-skelly-harry-kane-phil-foden/blt7343d5e3c3d964dc" target="_blank">2-0 win over Albania</a>. He was picked at left-back in an experimental defensve unit, flanking <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/england-line-up-thomas-tuchel-first-match-albania-dan-burn-marcus-rashford-world-cup-qualifying/bltf104e8f6260b107f" target="_blank">fellow debutant, 32-year-old Dan Burn</a>. It took just 20 minutes for him to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/video-debut-dreams-arsenal-myles-lewis-skelly-makes-history-scoring-first-goal-thomas-tuchel-era-england/bltedf13cb1b281d552" target="_blank">find the net and open the scoring</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The last few months have been a whirlwind for Lewis-Skelly. He started the season in Arsenal's Under-21 squad, but was promoted to the first-team in late August to help cover defensive injuries. Even then, the teenager spent much of his time on the bench until a first Premier League start in December, after which he has cemented his place in Mikel Arteta's preferred XI. His England call-up by Thomas Tuchel earlier this month was deserved and widely praised.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>"I am lost for words. This past six months have gone so quickly. I stay in the present and I take every moment as it comes," he said.</p><p>"[For the goal], all I remember is staying wide and rotating with Marcus Rashford. Jude [Bellingham] loves to stay on the half-turn. It was a great pass from him and the timing was very good. The finish, the keeper was coming at me, and I tried to put it between the legs. I didn't even think I was going to score.</p><p>"I found out [I was starting] in the morning in the meeting and when I saw my name my heart started to pound - I was so excited. So many messages before the game. They are all here tonight and it means the world to them. Honestly, it is incredible - this is a day I'll never forget."</p>

WHAT MYLES LEWIS-SKELLY SAID

<p>Aged 18 years and 176 days, Lewis-Skelly broke Marcus Rashford's 2016 record to become the youngest-ever England player to score on their senior men's debut. Rashford was 18 years and 209 days when he found the net against Australia in pre-Euro 2016 warm-up.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>England have a quick turnaround before hosting Latvia in a second qualifier at Wembley on Monday night. Without a specialised left-back in the squad - even Lewis-Skelly is naturally a midfielder - the Arsenal talent will be hoping to earn another chance to follow up his excellent debut.</p>
