England break down stubborn Czechs to claim first Nations League win
Thomas Tuchel's side secure a 2-0 win over 10-man Czech Republic as Anthony Gordon and Harry Kane continue their scoring form.
PRAGUE: England secured their first win of the Nations League campaign by defeating a 10-man Czech Republic 2-0 at the Fortuna Arena in Prague on Tuesday. Anthony Gordon and Harry Kane both found the net for England. The Czech side had been held to a 3-2 loss against world champions Spain at Wembley on Saturday, while the Czech Republic had also lost to Croatia earlier in the tournament.
England struggled in the first half, with the Czech Republic keeping them at bay despite being a man down. However, Gordon broke the deadlock shortly after the break and Kane provided the winning goal. Czech coach Thomas Tuchel praised his team for the important win, acknowledging it was unusual for them to receive an early red card.
