Another Nations League night, another comprehensive England win. This 3-0 victory over Czech Republic made it 12 goals without reply in England’s last three games, after that knife-edge defeat by Spain here at Wembley back at the start of the international break. And while this wasn’t as comprehensive as the 7-0 thrashing over Croatia, it featured perhaps the best goal of the Thomas Tuchel era, scored by Kane after a glorious move involving Elliot Anderson and Morgan Rogers, the sort kids will try to recreate on playgrounds tomorrow.
In doing so, England tightened their grip on a place in the Nations League quarter-finals in March. They still have Croatia and Spain to play next month, and are on course to finish second in the group which may lead to a more difficult quarter-final opponent. But in this form, no one will much fancy taking on Tuchel’s free-scoring England.
