Tottenham midfielder Pritchard thrilled to make U20 World Cup debut

Tottenham midfielder Alex Pritchard was thrilled to make his U20 World Cup debut in England's draw with Chile.

The tricky forward entered the action on 62 minutes with England trailing 1-0 against Chile in Antalya, Turkey.

Two minutes later, Harry Kane levelled the scores and the Spurs team-mates were then key players in England's late push for a winner.

"It was my first call up and a proud moment to get out there and represent England," he told the Spurs website.

"I didn't play in the first game so to get on with us 1-0 down, for us to score so quickly and create chances after that was great.

"I had the chance with the header that maybe I should have scored but I was pleased to make an impact and I've got to keep going now and hopefully get on the pitch again."
