England player ratings vs Czech Republic: History maker Harry Kane scores 9/10 as Arsenal star impresses

Captain Harry Kane scored twice and assisted the other of England’s goals on the night when he became the joint most-capped player in the country’s history, level on 125 appearances with Peter Shilton.

Kane set up Vladimir Coufal for an own goal for 1-0 and had doubled the lead before the interval with a goal of his own, before notching again to make it a comfortable win for Thomas Tuchel’s side.

Dom Smith was at Wembley Stadium to rate the England players’ performances...

Jordan Pickford 6

Barely had anything to do other than a few clearances charged down by Czechia players.

Trent Alexander-Arnold 6

A couple of really nice passes were banked into an otherwise quieter display by the Real Madrid right-back than he produced in last Tuesday’s reverse fixture in Prague.

Chance: Trent Alexander-Arnold

PA

Jarell Quansah 6

Defended resolutely and even had a pop at goal at one point. Shifted along to centre-back as Alexander-Arnold came in on the right flank.

Marc Guehi 5

Made an error eerily similar to the one that handed Lamine Yamal a second-minute goal in the Spain game 11 days ago, though this one went unpunished. Otherwise fine.

Lewis Hall 7

Assisted Kane’s second goal with a nicely shaped corner and was a nuisance down the left again.

Elliot Anderson 7

Made the second goal, really, with a defence-breaking pass into Morgan Rogers. Kept his energy up until being rested.

Myles Lewis-Skelly 6

Booked for stopping a counter-attack in the first half but some nice turns and another decent showing.

Morgan Rogers 7

Tried things, was bright, and assisted Kane’s first with a fantastic first-time ball across the penalty area.

Jude Bellingham 7

Some ridiculous turns and touches, as expected. Not quite as influential as in Rijeka but very good again.

Lively: Eberechi Eze

Hasn’t always impressed for England of late but was lively at Wembley and helped to knit England’s attacks together.

Harry Kane 9

England’s history man scored twice and assisted the other goal as his tied level with Peter Shilton to become England’s joint most-capped player ever. Brilliant performance from the captain.

Subs:

James Garner (Anderson, 63’) 6

Came in at left-back and was involved both in defending and going forward.

Jarrad Branthwaite (Guehi, 63’) 5

Slotted in at left centre-back once Guehi made way. Rated highly by Tuchel looking towards the future.

Morgan Gibbs-White (Hall, 72’) 5

Bright spark: Rio Ngumoha

Wasn’t on for enough time to affect play and will be disappointed he didn’t start.

Rio Ngumoha (Bellingham, 73’) 6

Definitely creative and lively in an admittedly brief cameo.
