Anthony Gordon opened his England account last weekend in their 5-0 win over the Republic of Ireland.
It was a special moment for the Newcastle playmaker and carried added poignancy after a promise he made ahead of linking up with Lee Carsley's side.
Prior to his latest call-up, Gordon met a young Magpies' fan named Ivy who was diagnosed with hyper IGE syndrome, a rare immunodeficiencies condition.
And the 23-year-old kept a promise to her by performing her celebration in front of the Wembley crowd.
