Kane nets twice as England beat Czech Republic 3-0 at Wembley – player ratings
Harry Kane scored twice as England defeated the Czech Republic 3-0 at Wembley in the Nations League on Tuesday, marking his 125th appearance for the national team and moving him level with Peter Shilton as England's joint-highest appearance-maker.
BBC Sport published individual player ratings for the match and invited readers to compare their own assessments; the outlet's match report described England as cruising to a comfortable 3-0 victory and provided a full set of scores and brief evaluations for each player.
Jordan Pickford was awarded a 6, with the report saying he will return to Everton knowing his place is now under threat from James Trafford and that he had some shaky moments. Trent Alexander-Arnold received a 7 for his ball-playing ability against a deep-lying Czech side. Centre-back Jarell Quansah was given a 6 after a comfortable display in his favoured role, while Marc Guehi also earned a 6 despite a couple of lapses and having started all four of England's matches during the extended international break. Left-back Lewis Hall was rated 7 and was noted to be competing with Nico O'Reilly for the first-choice role, with the report calling it a successful international period for the Newcastle defender.
In midfield and the attacking build-up, Elliot Anderson was rated 6 and credited with a brilliant pass that unlocked the opposition for England's second goal. Myles Lewis-Skelly earned a 7, with the assessment saying he could be pleased with his output on his return to the international scene and might be unlucky not to feature in the next squad on this evidence. Eberechi Eze was given a 6, described as improving after an underwhelming first half but not doing enough to cause Thomas Tuchel a selection headache following a rare start. Jude Bellingham received a 7 for his class in possession, and Morgan Rogers was rated 7 after showing versatility by starting on the right and providing a real threat.
Harry Kane was awarded an 8 for a historic evening in which he scored twice; the report reiterated the milestone of his 125 caps and his goals in the match. He was substituted on 82 minutes for Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who came on and was rated 6.
Other substitutes who featured were James Garner (on 63 for Anderson) rated 6 and described as getting more international minutes; Jarrad Branthwaite (on 63 for Guehi) given a 6 and noted as earning his third cap; Morgan Gibbs-White (on 73 for Hall) rated 6; and Rio Ngumoha (on 73 for Bellingham) rated 6. Players named among the unused substitutes were James Trafford, Jason Steele, Bukayo Saka, Anthony Gordon, Trevoh Chalobah and Rico Lewis.
Readers were invited to rate the players out of 10 for this game; the rater closes 30 minutes after the final whistle, participants must be signed in to a BBC account to play, and once the rating window closes the score displayed represents the average from all submissions by BBC Sport users.
