England secured their first victory in the current Nations League campaign, defeating the Czech Republic 2-0. Goals from Anthony Gordon and captain Harry Kane were enough to seal the result in a game where England controlled proceedings.
Anthony Gordon stood out, earning an 8/10 rating. His constant threat behind the defense and the opening goal highlighted why he is becoming an increasingly important figure for the Three Lions. Gordon was involved in dangerous attacking moves throughout the match.
Harry Kane and Elliot Anderson were both awarded 7/10. Kane remained composed in the box for his goal, while Anderson provided maturity and control in the midfield. Trent Alexander-Arnold also impressed with a 7/10, marking his return to the starting lineup with a brilliant delivery for the opener, alongside Lewis Hall who provided a constant threat down the left flank.

Other players, such as James Trafford, Trevoh Chalobah, and Bukayo Saka, received a 6/10. Despite a shaky start from Chalobah, which drew some frustration from manager Thomas Tuchel, the defense remained solid enough to keep a clean sheet against a side that played with ten men for a portion of the game.
