England boss Gareth Southgate praised Rico Lewis for his great performance on his debut against North Macedonia, despite the full-back handed the visitors a penalty after a controversial VAR decision.

Rico Lewis capped off an incredible year by making his senior England debut against North Macedonia in the Euro 2024 qualifiers.

The full-back made his first team debut for Manchester City and was part of a historic treble for the Sky Blues winning the Champions League, FA Cup and Premier League.

The Cityzens youngster was called up alongside Cole Palmer by Gareth Southgate in a late substitution for the Three Lions' Euro 2024 qualifiers. The England defender did not get playing time in the win over Malta but started against North Macedonia. Check out Gareth Southgate's kind words on his debut.
