Overview
- England recovered from a 3-2 defeat to Spain by winning 2-0 in Prague on Tuesday to register their first UEFA Nations League points.
- Pavel Šulc was sent off in the 25th minute after an on-field VAR review upgraded a yellow to a straight red, forcing Czechia to play 65 minutes with ten men.
- Anthony Gordon opened the scoring just after half-time from a Trent Alexander‑Arnold cross and Harry Kane sealed the victory with a clinical finish later in the second half.
- James Trafford kept a clean sheet in his second consecutive competitive start while Alexander‑Arnold’s first start under Tuchel produced the assist that broke the deadlock.
- The win moves England to three points and second in Group A3, highlights ongoing selection and injury questions in Tuchel’s squad, and sets up a quick away fixture against Croatia on Saturday.
