The Chelsea winger made his Young Lions debut against the France U21 team after being called up to the team.
At the King Power Stadium, goals from Emile Smith Rowe, Noni Madueke, Curtis Jones, and Aaron Ramsey helped England's under-21 team beat France 4-0.
Madueke, who came off the bench to score and provide two assists, received the man of the match award.
Noni Madueke, a Chelsea rookie, helped the England Under-21 team defeat France in a friendly with one goal and two assists.
Emile Smith Rowe of Arsenal opened the scoring with his first goal after a season marred by injuries.
Prior to scoring, Madueke provided assists to Curtis Jones of Liverpool and Jacob Ramsey of Aston Villa, extending England's advantage.
Before halftime, Kouadio Kone of France forced Bolton Wanderers' James Trafford, who is on loan from Manchester United, into an outstanding save by tipping his long shot over the crossbar.
After Lee Carsley's second-half changes, England significantly improved, and Smith Rowe scored the game's first goal when he dove to deflect a cross from Morgan Gibbs-White of Nottingham Forest past the French goalie.
After converting a Jones cut-back at the back post, Madueke increased their lead.
A minute later, Jones scored when he backheeled a Madueke cross into the goal.
Once again helping out, Madueke threaded Ramsey's attempt between the legs of Lucas Chevalier.
Former Ajax winger's photo was shared by Chelsea with the caption: "What an impact from @NoniMadueke_
tonight for the #YoungLions! 👏"
