Dele Alli found a goal with his first shot on target in his first start for England on Tuesday.

Just 19 years old, Alli earned his spot in the senior national team after his dazzling displays with Tottenham this season in the Premier League.

And from 25 yards, the teenager opened his scoring account with the Three Lions, a fine strike that took a slight deflection off defender Laurent Koscielny on the way into the top corner.

It was Alli who initially won the ball and set the play in motion, showing his complete skill set in a defining few seconds toward the end of the first half.
