Nigerian-born midfielder, Dele Alli, has earned his first England cap after making an appearance in their Euro 2016 qualifier against Estonia.
The 19-year-old made an appearance as an 87th-minute substitute during the match at Wembley Stadium.
The Tottenham midfielder was bought on for Ross Barkley for a late appearance in the match, which England won 2-0 thanks to goals by Theo Walcott and Raheem Sterling.
Alli has only played in seven Barclays Premier League matches, but Roy Hodgson has already rewarded him with a cap.

He has played a key role for Spurs in the heart of their midfield, and rapidly established his place in Mauricio Pochettino’s starting line-up since arriving at White Hart Lane over the summer.
