It may have been a long time coming - but for James Maddison, his full England debut was worth the wait.

Three and a half years since his first international appearance as a substitute against Montenegro, Leicester midfielder Maddison started as the Three Lions comfortably beat Ukraine to remain unbeaten in their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign.

Injuries and form had denied the 26-year-old the chance to make that full international debut earlier, but he certainly made up for lost time with a very promising display at Wembley.

"It almost feels like a second debut, it was so long ago," Maddison told BBC Radio 5 Live.
