Cheers in the Wembleystadion

In the first half of Thomas Tuchel’s first game as an England coach there is a moment for the history books. Myles Lewis-Skelly’s hit is a very special one.
In the 19th minute on Friday evening, Thomas Tuchel was able to cheer for the first time in his term as a coach of the English national team: The “Three Lions” took the lead with the “Three Lions”, who was eagerly awaited by the German national coach in the World Cup qualifier against Albania, which Wembleystadion lifted-and the goal wrote history.
England star Jude Bellingham played steeply into the penalty area of the guests, where debutant Myles Lewis-Skelly reacted fastest in his first international match and pushed the ball through the legs of Albania’s goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha. The 1-0. A dream debut for the teenager.
And: it is a record goal. Because Lewis-Skelly is the youngest player in the history of the English national team, who was able to score a goal in his first international match. The left -back from Arsenal is 18 years and 176 days young – historical.
This continues a success season from Lewis-Skelly: It was only in September last year that the London native debut for the “Gunners” in the Premier League, has been a regular under coach Mikel Areta since mid-December. Now also the historical moment in the England jersey.
