WATCH: Caught on Camera Myles Lewis-Skelly’s Family Reaction On His Record-Breaking England Debut Goal

Myles Lewis-Skelly had a debut to remember as he made history for England, scoring his first senior international goal in a 2-0 win against Albania. But beyond his incredible performance on the pitch, one of the most heartwarming moments of the night came from the Wembley stands—his family’s emotional reaction to his achievement.

At just 18 years and 176 days old, Lewis-Skelly was given his first senior cap by new England boss Thomas Tuchel. The Arsenal youngster, playing as a left-back, wasted no time in repaying the manager’s trust. Just 20 minutes into the match, he brilliantly connected with a stunning pass from Jude Bellingham and slotted the ball past Albania’s goalkeeper, Thomas Strakosha.

With that goal, he made history, becoming the youngest player ever to score on his England debut—breaking the record previously held by his teammate Marcus Rashford, who netted at 18 years and 209 days against Australia in 2016.

As soon as the ball hit the back of the net, Wembley erupted in celebration. But the most touching reaction came from Lewis-Skelly’s family, who were watching proudly from the stands. ITV cameras captured the emotional moment his grandmother and sister jumped up, cheering and hugging each other in sheer joy. Their pride was clear for all to see, making it a truly unforgettable night for the entire Lewis-Skelly family.

After the match, Lewis-Skelly struggled to find the words to describe his emotions.

“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,” he said.

England manager Thomas Tuchel also showered praise on the young star:

“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.”

Even England captain Harry Kane, who sealed the 2-0 victory with his own goal, acknowledged the Arsenal youngster’s impact. Meanwhile, his Gunners teammate Declan Rice couldn’t hide his admiration.

“He is fearless. He does everything right off the pitch, and he is only 18,” Rice said. “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.”

Lewis-Skelly’s performance wasn’t just about breaking records—it was a statement. His energy, confidence, and maturity on the pitch showed why Arsenal and England have high hopes for his future.

To his family, especially his grandmother, it was a night full with pride and raw emotion. Watching their loved one make history on the largest stage must have been a surreal moment—one that will be cherished forever.
