Brighton defender Ben White says winning his first England cap was a dream come true.
The 23-year-old defender came on for Jack Grealish in the 71st minute to become the 1261 player to be capped by England and only the fifth Albion player to play for the Three Lions.
White helped England to hold onto their 1-0 lead over Austria 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.
