Guéhi and Anderson feature as England beat 10-man Czech Republic

Marc Guéhi and Elliot Anderson were instrumental in England's 2-0 victory over the Czech Republic on Tuesday evening, despite playing with 10 men. Tuchel's side dominated from the outset, with Anderson orchestrating a number of chances for England. The game took a dramatic turn in the 25th minute when Pavel Sulc was shown a straight red card for a high tackle on City midfielder Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Despite the numerical disadvantage, England managed to remain patient, and it was not until the 47th minute that they broke through, with Anthony Gordon heading in Trent Alexander-Arnold's deep cross. Harry Kane sealed the win with a close-range finish in the 53rd minute, capitalizing on a loose ball as the Czech Republic struggled to maintain their numerical advantage.

The win in Prague sees England sitting second with three points after two games played. In another match, Mateo Kovačić and Joško Gvardiol started in Croatia's 4-1 loss to World Cup champions Spain. Brazil's Vitor Reis scored his second cap for his nation's senior team in a 4-2 win over Australia, while Ryan McAidoo helped England's Under-19s beat Norway 2-1 in a friendly match in Spain.
