Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers was delighted with Luke Thomas' performance for victory over Sheffield United.
The 19-year-old left back barely put a foot wrong as he was drafted in to face the Blades as the Foxes won 2-0 and his manager said the youngster repaid his faith by displaying composure and calmness.
Rodgers said: "The thing when I look at young players is: 'Do they have temperament?' You've seen how he sent the ball in - he wasn't phased. He's got that incredible composure.
"It's his first game playing against a really good team, he's got great awareness. I thought over the course of the game he did so well.
"He defends, so aggressive and tenacious and he can pass the ball which is important for someone who plays me for me.
"He got a big round of applause from the team. It's such an amazing night for him."
