Djed Spence won his first cap for England in their win over Serbia and, by doing so, helped Tottenham Hotspur set a new record.

With Dominic Solanke and James Maddison out injured, Spence was the only Tottenham Hotspur representative in the England squad.

It is a far cry from five or six years ago when Tottenham representatives dominated the Three Lions set-up.

The full-back came on in the 69th minute in Belgrade as England thrashed Serbia 5-0, and he made history in more ways than one.

Tottenham claim a proud England record

Spence became the first-ever Muslim player to play for England, but that was not the only record that was broken on Monday night.

The former Middlesbrough man became the 80th Tottenham player to represent England in their history.

That means that more Spurs players have represented the Three Lions than players from any other club across the sport.

Spurs fans will be hoping Spence’s development is the start of a turnaround

Within a few years, Tottenham have gone from having five or six players in and around the England starting eleven to barely anyone in the squad.

Spence is the first England debutant from Spurs for eight years, with Harry Winks being the last player to earn his first cap, all the way back in 2017.
