The 18-year-old has been touted as a talent with a big future, after making a strong impression while emerging for his club and at England age-group level.

Scarlett made his bow with a 15-minute cameo appearance on Saturday and will be out for greater inclusion moving forward.

And his fellow striker Colby Bishop think there’s going to be a lot to come from the talent moving forward.

Bishop said: ‘From what I’ve seen of him so far he looks a very impressive player.

‘You don’t play for England and Spurs unless you are a very good talent.

‘We’ve got some very good players in that changing room - I’m looking forward to playing with them and hopefully we can do something special.’

Bishop was left stunned that Scarlett was denied what appeared a blatant penalty late on, following a high challenge by Sheffield Wednesday defender Dominic Iorfa.

He added: ‘I can’t believe that wasn’t given as a foul, to be honest, he’s nearly taken his head off.

‘It was kung-fu! I don’t think I’ve ever not seen a penalty given for something like that.

‘Dane said he caught him on his head, so I’m a bit confused about that one to be honest,

‘There’s a few things which didn’t go for us, but we did well.’
