Kane Hits Double as England Cruise Past Czechia 3-0 at Wembley
Harry Kane struck twice on his 125th England appearance as the Three Lions beat Czechia 3-0, taking his international total to 91 goals.
What we know
- Vladimir Coufal put through his own net in the 27th minute after England’s early pressure and a dangerous delivery into the box.
- Kane made it 2-0 five minutes before half-time, finishing after Elliot Anderson released Morgan Rogers, who supplied the final pass.
- Lewis Hall created Kane’s second goal in the 57th minute. The left-back was replaced by Morgan Gibbs-White in the 73rd minute.
- England kept Czechia without a shot on target. Jordan Pickford had little to do as the home side controlled possession and won the aerial contest 14-7.
- Trent Alexander-Arnold repeatedly threatened from the right and saw an early free-kick saved, while England sent in 20 crosses.
- Jarrad Branthwaite and James Garner entered in the 63rd minute for Marc Guehi and Anderson. Rio Ngumoha replaced Jude Bellingham after 73 minutes, before Dominic Calvert-Lewin came on for Kane in the 81st.
What happens next
England remain in contention for first place in Group A3. Thomas Tuchel’s side will now turn to their remaining group fixtures, with the manager encouraged by goal contributions from Rogers and Hall and another landmark night from Kane.
