Southampton winger Josh Sims thrilled with goalscoring England U18 debut

Southampton winger Josh Sims is thrilled to have scored a first goal for England U18.

Sims said it felt 'special' to score against Holland on his England U18s debut on Wednesday.

"It seems like it I have a thing for playing Holland - and a thing for England debuts," Sims told TheFA.com. "Everyone played well, and we deserved it. We dominated for the majority of the match and I really enjoyed it.

"It was a great feeling, and playing for England makes it that little bit more special. I was blowing afterwards though, so I'm glad it went in!

"I can remember the centre-back coming across so quickly, so I decided to take a touch past him, and he couldn't stop running and I got past. I then just carried on running into the box and finished with my left foot.

"I've been practising a lot on my left recently, so I was made up to see it go in."
