England break down stubborn Czechs to claim first Nations League win
Anthony Gordon and Harry Kane were on target again as England saw off 10-man Czech Republic 2-0 to get their Nations League campaign up and running on Tuesday.
England claimed their first Nations League win over the Czech Republic 2-0 on Tuesday, marking a promising start to their campaign. Anthony Gordon and Harry Kane both found the back of the net, with Gordon scoring shortly after the break and Kane adding a second. The Czech Republic, reduced to 10 men when Pavel Sulc was sent off in the 25th minute, struggled to create meaningful chances despite their efforts.
England dominated possession early on but had to wait until the second half to break the deadlock. The win leaves England second in Group A3, three points behind leaders Spain, who defeated Croatia 4-1 in Seville earlier in the tournament.
