Who continues to show how important they are? - England player ratings
How the England players rated following their Nations League match.
England secured their first victory in the Nations League as Anthony Gordon and Harry Kane netted a 2-0 win against the Czech Republic. BBC Sport's Alex Howell evaluated the players' performances during the match.
James Trafford, who made a crucial save in the second half, earned a rating of 6. Trent Alexander-Arnold, who returned to the England lineup after nearly two years, scored the opener and was rated 7 for his excellent ball. Trevoh Chalobah, who struggled initially but settled well, received a 6 for his defensive efforts.
Marc Guehi, Lewis Hall, Elliot Anderson, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Morgan Rogers, Bukayo Saka, Anthony Gordon, and Harry Kane all scored ratings ranging from 6 to 8. Gordon, in particular, stood out with his constant threat behind the defense and his goal. Kane, while playing a quieter game, still managed to score a crucial goal with a good finish. Eberechi Eze, Jude Bellingham, Alex Scott, Rio Ngumoha, and the unused substitutes also received ratings between 6 and 8.
