England 3-0 Czechia: How the Match Unfolded
England were on top from the first whistle. Trent Alexander-Arnold hit a dipping free-kick from distance that goalkeeper Lukáš Horníček had to tip round the post, and Elliot Anderson then fired a long-range effort over the bar. Morgan Rogers had the best early chance when he volleyed wide from a cross-field pass by Jude Bellingham. Czechia’s only early attempt was a drag-wide effort from Alex Král.
The breakthrough came in the 27th minute. Kane escaped down the right and whipped a low cross into the box, and Coufal turned it into his own net, unaware that Eberechi Eze had stopped his run. Anderson then missed a good chance to make it 2-0, skying a lay-off from Rogers near the penalty spot.
He made up for it before half-time. Anderson’s clever ball over the Czech back line found Rogers, whose bobbling cross reached Kane at the back post, and the England captain finished calmly in the 40th minute.
England 3-0 Czechia: Kane Seals It After the Break
Kane almost scored a spectacular third when Myles Lewis-Skelly’s work in midfield started a break and his shot brushed the top of the crossbar. Bellingham’s flick was then blocked by Horníček, and from the resulting corner Kane rose highest to head Lewis Hall’s delivery in at the near post for 3-0 in the 57th minute.
Tuchel used the rest of the game to rest and rotate. James Garner and Jarrad Branthwaite came on in the 63rd minute, Rio Ngumoha and Morgan Gibbs-White followed in the 72nd, and Kane was replaced by Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the 82nd minute to a loud ovation. Czechia only managed a couple of shots all night, from substitutes Roman Macek and Adam Hložek, and neither tested Jordan Pickford.
Kane’s Night of Records
In England 3-0 Czechia, Kane’s 125th appearance puts him level with Peter Shilton as England’s most-capped men’s player. His two goals took him to 90 and 91 for his country, and he has now scored in seven consecutive matches for club and country. It was also his sixth goal in four games during this international window, a remarkable return for the captain.
Tuchel’s Changes Work
For England 3-0 Czechia, Tuchel made four changes from the side that beat Croatia 7-0 in the previous game. Alexander-Arnold, Lewis-Skelly, Rogers and Eze all returned, and Alexander-Arnold was a constant threat down the right after spending a long spell away from the England squad. The defence also kept a second straight clean sheet, following the 2-0 win in Prague last week.
Group A3 Picture
After England 3-0 Czechia, the Three Lions have nine points from four games, with three wins and one defeat, the loss being the 3-2 defeat to Spain at the start of the campaign. Czechia have lost all four matches and have no points under new coach Santi Denia. With two group games left, England are all but through to next summer’s Nations League Finals, though the race for top spot with Spain is still alive.
