Grealish 'emotional' after making long-awaited England debut in draw against Denmark

Jack Grealish has described his England debut as 'emotional' with the Aston Villa star finally pulling on a Three Lions shirt in the 0-0 draw against Denmark.

The 24-year-old came on as a 76th minute substitute for fellow debutant Kalvin Phillips as Gareth Southgate's side failed to break down a stubborn Danish defence in Copenhagan on Tuesday.

Grealish has been long-tipped to make an impact on the international scene and got his opportunity in the squad for the Iceland and Denmark matches after Marcus Rashford's withdrawal.
