Liverpool forward Rio Ngumoha says he was "buzzing" to make his international debut and "show everyone what I could do" in England's first World Cup warm-up fixture against New Zealand last week.
The 17-year-old, who was one of four youngsters selected by Thomas Tuchel to join his pre-World Cup training camp in Florida, became the fifth-youngest player to represent the Three Lions in history, coming on as a substitute in the 1-0 friendly win.
"I'll say it was a crazy feeling," Ngumoha, who received the man of the match award, told England's media channels. "I was happy. I was buzzing.
"I knew from when we had the meeting before the match that there was going to be a first-half team and a second-half team, so I was preparing [to play].
"It's good that I didn't have too much time to think about it. I wasn't too nervous to be fair, I just wanted to play and show everyone what I could do. I just had fun.
