And it took just 20 minutes for left-back Lewis-Skelly to repay Tuchel’s faith as he latched onto Jude Bellingham’s stunning pass and slotted past keeper Thomas Strakosha.
And at the age of 18 years and 176 days, he became the youngest player EVER to score on his his first England cap.
Lewis-Skelly surpassed the record set by team-mate Marcus Rashford – who did so at 18 years and 209 days against Australia in May 2016.
Rashford, 27, was coincidentally making his first international appearance in a year in England’s World Cup qualifying opener.
Lewis-Skelly’s family were seen going wild in the Wembley stands after the opening goal.
ITV cameras picked up the wonderkid’s grandmother and sister cheering and hugging.
Lewis-Skelly said after the game: “I’m lost for words. I am so grateful for the manager to put trust in me. I am so happy.
“The fans made me feel at home so thank you to them.”

Tuchel said: “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.”
England ratings vs Albania as Lewis-Skelly enjoys dream debut but Tuchel fails to solve Foden issue
By Tom Barclay
MYLES LEWIS-SKELLY made history and Harry Kane extended his own record-breaking as England sunk Albania in Thomas Tuchel’s first game.
Lewis-Skelly became the youngest player to score on his Three Lions debut and top goal-getter Kane notched his 70th international strike as Tuchel began his World Cup qualifying campaign with a modest 2-0 win.
New boy Dan Burn partnered Ezri Konsa in central defence at Wembley, while Marcus Rashford and Curtis Jones were also handed starts.
Meanwhile, Tuchel wrestled with the same issue faced by predecessor Sir Gareth Southgate – deciding where to fit in Phil Foden.
Left-back Lewis-Skelly, 18, slotted home on 20 minutes following a delightful turn and even better pass from Jude Bellingham.
But England stuttered after the break – until skipper Kane classily took down a Declan Rice pass and curved home the clincher.
Here’s how SunSport’s Tom Barclay rated the Three Lions in German manager Tuchel’s opening match…
Captain Harry Kane sealed a 2-0 win as Declan Rice also hailed his Gunners team-mate Lewis-Skelly.
Rice said: “He is fearless. He does everything right off the pitch and he is only 18.
“I knew he was going to play like that tonight because of the confidence he has.
“He has kept his feet on the ground and it is only the start for him.”
