Guehi 'over the moon' after Eze scores first England goal
Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi says he is "over the moon" for Eberechi Eze after he scored his first England goal in Monday's 3-0 World Cup qualifier win over Latvia.
Eze came on just after the hour mark and sealed the win with a late deflected effort after some fine wing play.
"Every time he's come on, he has had a big chance and he's created things," Guehi told BBC Sport's John Murray.
"I'm over the moon for him. I'm glad that went in for him, I'm glad it was on target and they gave it to him.
"He is someone who is extremely humble, who works extremely hard and is always smiling and joyful around the place. A massive talent as well. I'm so glad for him and his family."
It was a familiarly laboured performance at times from the Three Lions but Guehi - making his 23rd international appearance - believes it has been positive camp.
"These games are about getting the job done, finding rhythm, connections, building relationships and keeping standards as high as possible. Overall, it's been a good week," he added.
"There is always room for improvement. We've got a long way to go until we reach our target of qualifying."
