City's full-back played 90 minutes for the current EURO holders in their 2-0 triumph away in Luxembourg at the Stade Josy Barthel.

Sporting Lisbon midfielder Bruno Fernandes opened the scoring for Portugal six minutes prior to half-time before captain Cristiano Ronaldo doubled their lead late on in the second half.

The victory means Portugal finish second in Group B and secure qualification for next summer's tournament, along with group winners Ukraine.

Academy graduate Ben Chilwell completed another 90 minutes for England as they won 4-0 in Kosovo to finish atop of Group A.

Chilwell, who registered a brilliant trio of assists against Montenegro on Thursday, put in another assured performance and forced Kosovo goalkeeper Arijanet Muric into a smart save on the hour-mark.

Harry Winks, Harry Kane, Marcus Rashford and Mason Mount all scored in a victory that ensures England will be seeded next summer.

Ben Chilwell made his 11th appearance for England in their 4-0 victory in Kosovo.

James Maddison, who made his senior Three Lions debut at Wembley three days ago, was an unused substitute at the Fadil Vokrri Stadium.

Meanwhile, Foxes midfielder Wilfred Ndidi featured from start to finish in Nigeria's 4-2 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying win over Lesotho.

Having helped his nation beat the Republic of Benin 2-1 in their first qualifying game, City's No.25 impressed once more for the Super Eagles at Setsoto Stadium in Maseru.
