Declan Rice praised Myles Lewis-Skelly for his fearless performance during his debut for England, marking it with a goal. At 18 years and 176 days, he became the youngest English debutant to score, besting Marcus Rashford's previous record. Rice underscored Lewis-Skelly's continual improvement and the need for him to maintain his hunger and confidence. Coach Thomas Tuchel also commended Lewis-Skelly's natural talent and maturity as he embarks on a promising career, having already shown remarkable performance with Arsenal this season.
Week-on-week, he's shown how good he is, and the fearlessness he has in his performance. That's on him: how much you want it and how much you want to keep going.
He didn't even know he was going to be starting until today, and I just knew he was going to have a good performance, because he has that belief in himself.
He is full of confidence and full of humour, and such an open and mature character. Everything you see on the pitch you see off the pitch.
He's an asset for us now. He's 18 years old and has got a long career in the game if he keeps doing good things.
