Nations League: England prevail in Czech Republic thanks to Gordon and Kane

England secured their first Nations League victory with a 2-0 win in the Czech Republic, according to several media outlets. Anthony Gordon and Harry Kane scored for the Three Lions, who capitalised on a Czech player's red card to manage the end of the match. The game took place in Prague, where Thomas Tuchel's side delivered a laboured performance despite the scoreline, report the Daily Mail and the Evening Standard.

A win without flair

According to NOS, the English recorded a narrow victory against a Czech side reduced to ten men. The Daily Mail highlights a decisive performance from Gordon, but notes that uncertainty remains in a key area for Tuchel despite the 2-0 success. The Evening Standard describes a win achieved without shining, following a difficult match in Prague.

Kane and Gordon decisive

Anthony Gordon opened the scoring, before Harry Kane made it 2-0, according to the Evening Standard. The British daily specifies that the two goals allowed England to kick-start their campaign in the competition. Kane's goal is also mentioned by t-online, which headlines the English victory against a decimated Czech side.

A recovery after the defeat against Spain

Voetbalprimeur reminds that England had lost 2-3 against Spain the previous week. This success in the Czech Republic therefore allows Tuchel's men to bounce back and collect their first points in the competition. The Dutch media describes the victory as straightforward, while NOS calls it sober.

England's next fixture is not specified in the sources consulted. The media agree on the final score and the identity of the goalscorers, but only the Daily Mail mentions a lingering area of uncertainty within Tuchel's squad.
