'It's the stuff of dreams!' - Calvert-Lewin delighted to score on England debut after 'long road' to international stage

Dominic Calvert-Lewin said it was the "stuff of dreams" to score on his England debut after a "long road" to the international stage.

Calvert-Lewin was handed his first senior start for the Three Lions as Wales arrived at Wembley for a home nations friendly clash on Thursday night.

The 23-year-old didn't take long to make his mark, rising to head home a pinpoint Jack Grealish cross in the 26th minute to open the scoring.
