Southampton news: Taylor Harwood-Bellis on scoing for England

Southampton defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis has described a "magical" night after scoring on his senior England debut against Republic of Ireland.

"It is every young kid's dream to make their debut for England, but to get a goal was magical," the 22-year-old said.

"I was given a few hints on Saturday that I would be needed at some point so I was just getting myself ready for that, but you also donâ€TMt believe it until it happens. When I got the nod to come on, I was over the moon.

"I fancied myself in the box as I like scoring headers.

"They have always spoken about how there is a pathway [from under-21s to first team], even when Gareth Southgate was in charge. We know the door is open if we take our chances

"Playing for my country at every level is something I take great pride in. To play for the seniors is what dreams are made of. It is the pinnacle of football."
