MYLES LEWIS-SKELLY'S family were spotted emotionally celebrating his record-breaking debut England goal.
The Arsenal star was given his first senior cap by new Three Lions boss Thomas Tuchel - against Albania at Wembley.
And it took just 20 minutes for left-back Lewis-Skelly to repay Tuchel's faith as he latched onto Jude Bellingham's stunning pass and slotted past keeper Thomas Strakosha.
And at the age of 18 years and 176 days, he became the youngest player EVER to score on his his first England cap.
Lewis-Skelly surpassed the record set by team-mate Marcus Rashford - who did so at 18 years and 209 days against Australia in May 2016.
Rashford, 27, was coincidentally making his first international appearance in a year in England's World Cup qualifying opener.
Lewis-Skelly's family were seen going wild in the Wembley stands after the opening goal.
ITV cameras picked up the wonderkid's grandmother and sister cheering and hugging.
Lewis-Skelly said after the game: "I'm lost for words. I am so grateful for the manager to put trust in me. I am so happy.
"The fans made me feel at home so thank you to them."

Tuchel said: "Amazing player. Amazing personality.
"He came into camp and showed straight away that it's normal to fall in love with him. It is well deserved."
Captain Harry Kane sealed a 2-0 win as Declan Rice also hailed his Gunners team-mate Lewis-Skelly.
Rice said: "He is fearless. He does everything right off the pitch and he is only 18.
“I knew he was going to play like that tonight because of the confidence he has.
“He has kept his feet on the ground and it is only the start for him."
