Brighton defender Ben White (wearing the number 16 shirt) won his first cap for England in their 1-0 win over Austria
Brighton defender Ben White won his first England cap in their 1-0 win over Austria in a friendly at the Riverside Stadium tonight.
The 23-year-old came on the 71st minute to replace Jack Grealish.
Arsenal's Bukayo Saka scored the only goal of the game in the 57th minute.
White then denied Austria an equaliser in the 91st minute as he cleared Alessandro Schopf's low shot off the line, after Jordan Pickford made a mess of punching a ball clear.
Take a bow, @Ben6White 👏
