England redeemed themselves following their defeat to Spain by securing a 2-0 away victory against Czech Republic in the third round of the UEFA Nations League. The hosts complicated their task early on when Pavel Schulz received a straight red card in the 26th minute for a reckless foul on Emile Anderson.
Taking advantage of their numerical superiority immediately after the break, England opened the scoring in the 47th minute through Anthony Gordon, who finished off a cross from Trent Alexander-Arnold. The visitors then doubled their lead in the 69th minute when Harry Kane scored with a precise diagonal shot. This win lifted the Three Lions to second place in their group.
