Lewis-Skelly and Kane star for Tuchel's England
Thomas Tuchel made a winning start as England manager, earning a 2-0 victory over Albania in its first FIFA World Cup qualifier.
Miles Lewis-Skelly scored on his debut, with Harry Kane making sure of the win with 13 minutes remaining at Wembley Stadium.
England dominated in the opening stages but took until the 20th minute to unlock Albania's low block, with Jude Bellingham sliding a lovely throughball into the box for Lewis-Skelly, who slotted his shot under Thomas Strakosha.
The goalkeeper was then called into action in the 40th minute, stretching out a leg to block Bellingham's diving header, with Kane's follow-up deflected over the bar by Berat Djimsiti's goal-saving block.
There was nearly a second debut goal just before the break. Dan Burn rose high to meet a corner and sent a towering header at goal, but it smacked the crossbar, with a glancing touch from Strakosha.
Kane led from the front in the second half, heading narrowly wide shortly after the hour before getting his reward in the 77th minute.
The striker latched on to Declan Rice's cross, bringing it down with a superb first touch before picking out the bottom-right corner with a clinical finish.
Aged 18 years and 176 days, Lewis Skelly is the youngest player in history to score on his senior England debut, surpassing Marcus Rashford's record of 18 years and 209 days against Australia in May 2016.
Overall, he is the third-youngest scorer for the Three Lions, behind Wayne Rooney and Michael Owen.
"I am lost for words," he said after the match.
"This past six months have gone so quickly. I stay in the present and I take every moment as it comes.
"I found out [he would be starting] in the morning, in the meeting, and when I saw my name my heart started to pound – I was so excited.
"Honestly, it is incredible - this is a day I'll never forget."
On his goal, he added: "All I remember is staying wide and rotating with Marcus Rashford. Jude loves to stay on the half-turn. It was a great pass from him and the timing was very good.
"The finish, the keeper was coming at me, and I tried to put it between the legs. I didn't even think I was going to score."
Despite the comfortable victory in his first match in charge, Tuchel conceded he thinks England can still improve, with one eye already on its next game against Latvia next week.
"We can do better, we have to do better," Tuchel said. "We started well; we had seven or eight minutes with 100 per cent ball possession with a lot of passes and high energy.
"The opponent is hard to break down as they defend in a deep block.
"In the Euros they managed to not concede chances. Second half, I felt we were too slow and, in general, not enough runs off the ball to get behind the line."
Asked about Lewis-Skelly's impact on his debut, he added: "Amazing player. Amazing personality.
"He came into camp and showed straight away that it's normal to fall in love with him. It is well deserved."
