Kane scores twice but who else was a 'real threat'? England player ratings
Senior football correspondent Sami Mokbel rates the England players after Tuesday's 3-0 win against the Czech Republic.
Harry Kane scored twice in England's 3-0 victory against the Czech Republic during a Nations League match at Wembley on Tuesday. While Kane's goal-scoring prowess was the highlight of the game, several other players demonstrated significant threat and skill throughout the match.
Trent Alexander-Arnold showcased his ball control and adaptability, impressing in his opportunity to play for England. He performed well against deep-lying opponents like the Czech Republic, demonstrating the ability needed for a deep-lying position.
Jarell Quansah, who typically plays as a center-back, looked comfortable in his role, gradually becoming an integral part of the squad. His performance earned him a place in the England team.
Marc Guehi largely controlled the game without major setbacks. He started all four of England's matches during the international break and cemented his position as a regular in the team.
Lewis Hall and Nico O'Reilly battled for the left-back position, with both players having a successful international period. Hall's performance contributed significantly to their cause.
Elliot Anderson continued to impress on the international stage, providing a brilliant pass to create England's second goal. His progression in international football continued to be evident.
Myles Lewis-Skelly, returning to international competition, was content with his performance and likely to feature in the upcoming squad. His contribution was valuable for England's match.
Ebenechi Eze showed growth after an underwhelming first-half performance. Despite not being enough to affect Thomas Tuchel's selection, his improvement was noticeable.
Morgan Rogers displayed his versatility by starting out on the right and maintained his composure throughout the match. His ability to contribute in multiple areas made him a key player for England.
Harry Kane, England's captain, had a historic night, becoming the country's joint-highest appearance-maker alongside Peter Shilton with 125 caps. He also scored twice, further solidifying his importance to the team.
James Garner, coming on for Anderson in the 63rd minute, added more minutes to his international experience.
Jarrad Branthwaite, who played for his third cap, was also on the field, contributing to the team's success.
No substitutions were made by England during the match, which allowed the team to maintain their focus and intensity throughout.
