How it happened
Harry Kane scored twice and finished with the highest match rating on the pitch, 9, as England beat Czechia 3-0 at Wembley Stadium in League A, Group 3.
England broke the deadlock in the 27th minute, and it was not a Kane goal: Czechia's V. Coufal put the ball into his own net. Kane then struck in the 40th minute to make it 2-0 at the interval.
He added his second in the 57th minute. Czechia had no reply, and there were no red cards. Kane played 82 minutes, with 47 touches, two key passes and an expected-goals figure of 0.76 from his own efforts.
Kick-off was at 18:45 UTC on 6 October, in clear conditions and 15C.
The numbers
The statistics match the scoreline. England had 17 shots to Czechia's five, and three of those were on target to none. Possession was 64% to 36%, and England won the corner count 6-2.
Expected goals, which are estimated, put England on 1.83 against 0.16 for Czechia, a gap of 1.67. The own goal aside, England's chances were the better ones by a distance.
Behind Kane, Morgan Rogers earned a match rating of 7.8 with one assist and four key passes across 90 minutes. Trent Alexander-Arnold, rated 7.6, had 83 touches and four key passes.
What it means
The win fits England's recent run: eight wins and two defeats in their last 10, with 30 goals scored and 13 conceded, an average of 2.4 points a match.
Czechia's last 10 read two wins, two draws and six defeats, with 11 scored and 20 conceded, or 0.8 points a match. This was the fourth matchday of the group.
The sides have now met four times by the facts supplied: the head-to-head record lists three meetings, including a 2-0 England win at Czechia's ground on 29 September, and this result extends that run to back-to-back wins.
