Jordan Pickford: Heads back to Everton with James Trafford now putting pressure on his position after a few uncertain moments. 6
Trent Alexander-Arnold: Made the most of another chance to impress. His quality in possession was particularly effective against a deep Czech Republic defence. 7
Jarell Quansah: Looked assured while playing in his preferred central defensive position and is gradually establishing himself as a regular squad member. 6
Marc Guehi: Controlled much of the contest despite a couple of mistakes. He started each of England’s four fixtures during the extended international window. 6
Lewis Hall: Faces growing competition from Nico O’Reilly to become England’s preferred option at left-back. Overall, it was a productive international spell for the Newcastle defender. 7
Elliot Anderson: Continues to develop impressively on the international stage. His excellent pass opened up the Czech Republic defence for England’s second goal. 6
Myles Lewis-Skelly: Delivered an encouraging performance on his return to international duty. Based on this display, leaving him out of the next squad would be harsh. 7
Eberechi Eze: Raised his level after a quiet opening half, although his rare starting opportunity did not produce enough to seriously challenge Thomas Tuchel’s selection plans. 6
Jude Bellingham: Could not quite reproduce his outstanding performance in Croatia, but his elegance and quality remained clear whenever he had the ball. 7
Morgan Rogers: Demonstrated his adaptability by beginning the match on the right, where he appeared comfortable and offered a consistent attacking danger. 7
Harry Kane: A landmark evening for the England skipper, who joined Peter Shilton as the nation’s record appearance holder with 125 caps. He marked the occasion in familiar fashion by scoring twice. 8
Substitutes:
James Garner (on 63, Anderson): Added further valuable international playing time. 6
Jarrad Branthwaite (on 63, Guehi): Entered the match to earn his third senior cap. 6
Morgan Gibbs-White (on 73, Hall) 6
Rio Ngumoha (on 73, Bellingham) 6
Dominic Calvert-Lewin (on 82, Kane) 6
Unused substitutes: James Trafford, Jason Steele, Bukayo Saka, Anthony Gordon, Trevoh Chalobah, Rico Lewis.
