Harry Kane Hits 91 as England Beat Czechia 3-0 in Nations League
Harry Kane scored twice as England beat Czechia 3-0 on Tuesday, extending Thomas Tuchel’s side’s winning run in Nations League Group A3 to three matches. An own goal from Vladimir Coufal set the hosts on their way before Kane struck either side of half-time, taking his international total to 91.
What changed for England
England controlled the match from the opening stages and broke through in the 27th minute. Kane’s ball into the area put Coufal under pressure, with the Czechia defender turning it into his own net.
The lead was doubled five minutes before the interval. Elliot Anderson found Morgan Rogers with a measured pass, and Rogers sent a first-time delivery across goal for Kane to finish from close range.
England continued to create after the restart, with Jude Bellingham and Trent Alexander-Arnold involved prominently on the right. Kane completed his double in the 57th minute, meeting Lewis Hall’s corner at the far post and heading beyond Lukas Hornicek.
- 27 minutes: Vladimir Coufal own goal after Kane’s cross.
- 40 minutes: Kane finished Morgan Rogers’ first-time cross.
- 57 minutes: Kane headed in Lewis Hall’s corner for his 91st England goal.
Competition context
The result moves England onto nine points and into second place in Group A3. Their response to the opening 3-2 defeat against Spain has been emphatic, beginning with a 2-0 away victory over Czechia and followed by a 7-0 win against Croatia before Tuesday’s return fixture.
Spain remain one point clear at the summit after beating Croatia 2-1 to reach 12 points. Czechia are bottom of the group and are still without a point.
England’s run of results has kept the section in contention, although Spain’s lead means the next international window will carry major significance in the fight for first place.
What is scheduled next
England resume their Nations League campaign next month with Croatia visiting Wembley. Tuchel’s team will then travel to Spain three days later, with the away match offering England the chance to directly challenge the group leaders.
