England beat Czechia 2–0 in the Nations League, recovering from their defeat to Spain and ending a run of six matches in which they had conceded 13 goals. The result was shaped by Pavel Sulc’s 23rd-minute dismissal, after a VAR review upgraded his challenge on Elliot Anderson from a yellow card to a red.

England had struggled for fluency while the teams were at full strength, and Czechia had created several chances. Trent Alexander-Arnold set up Anthony Gordon’s second-half opener with a cross, before Harry Kane scored his 87th goal for England; the clean sheet was England’s first in seven matches.
