Rio Ferdinand was full of praise for Myles Lewis-Skelly after the Arsenal teenager made an instant impact on his England debut, scoring in a 2-0 victory over Albania last night. Thomas Tuchel, in his first match as England’s manager, made several changes to the team, which led to a highly anticipated new era for the national side. The match was full of surprises, and many were curious about how the team would perform under Tuchel’s leadership.

Lewis-Skelly was given the opportunity to start the game, and he capitalised on it in the best possible way, scoring one of England’s goals on the night. For a defender, marking your debut with a goal is an exceptional achievement, and it has undoubtedly earned him even more respect in the eyes of both fans and pundits.

He went on to add, “One game, one goal,” underscoring the significance of Lewis-Skelly’s perfect start to his international career.
