The first of those matches took place on Monday and Maghoma got off to the perfect start, scoring England’s third and fifth goals in a 7-0 win over Iceland.
Maghoma’s Arsenal teammate Luis Munoz was also in the squad, and he will be hoping to get on the scoresheet himself over the next two games.

The duo have been playing well above their age group of late, with 13-year-old Munoz becoming the youngest UEFA Youth League player in history when he came off the bench in the win over FC Bayern.
Maghoma then made his own appearance in the following match against Club Brugge, although the Youth League is officially a competition for players under the age of 19.

The player admitted to England Youth that his debut was his best moment in football so far, and as an Arsenal fan he added that in 10 years he hopes to be in “the Arsenal first team, playing in the Champions League and winning the Ballon d’Or”.
