Anthony Gordon praises Trent Alexander-Arnold's 'courage' following England win

Anthony Gordon has spoken glowingly of Trent Alexander-Arnold following England's 2-0 victory over the Czech Republic in the second round of the UEFA Nations League. The duo proved instrumental in helping the Three Lions secure a vital win.

Gordon opened the scoring in the contest after converting a precise delivery from the defender. He steered a clinical header past the Czech goalkeeper early in the second half to set the tone for the match.

I make that run time and time again and only a certain number of players have that ability, technique and bravery to be willing to make the mistake trying that pass. That's why he's so good and I've been dying to play with him for that reason. Anthony Gordon

Despite the positive result, Gordon remains focused on the team's evolution. He emphasized that while England controlled the game, there is still a need for greater efficiency in the final attacking third and better control of the game's flow to settle matches decisively.

England must now turn their attention to a decisive fixture against Croatia this Saturday. With both nations tied on three points in the group, the outcome of this weekend's clash is critical for England's hopes of qualifying for the knockout stages.
