at Wembley Stadium 

ARSENAL’S teenage prodigy Myles Lewis-Skelly scored on his England debut at Wembley Stadium to launch the Thomas Tuchel era in style. 

The Gunners’ precocious 18-year-old — who, six short months ago was still playing for the club’s academy sides — latched onto Jude Bellingham’s perceptive through-ball, to slot home left-footed past Albania keeper Thomas Strakosha with only 20 minutes gone at the national stadium for a dream first match for the national side. 

A second-half goal from captain Harry Kane sealed proceedings under the arch.
