Who continues to show how important they are? England player ratings - Published England got their first win in the Nations League as Anthony Gordon and Harry Kane scored to beat the Czech Republic 2-0. Here's how BBC Sport England reporter Alex Howell rated the players. You can see how you scored them below. - What do BBC Sport's player ratings mean? - Published21 August James Trafford: Made a good save in the second half. Trafford was very calm with the ball at his feet and showed his passing range which pleased Tuchel throughout. 6 Trent Alexander-Arnold: Started his first England game for nearly two years. Not much to do defensively but put in a great ball for the England opener. 7 Trevoh Chalobah: A shaky start from the centre back who lost possession a couple of times and lost out in challenges which frustrated manager Thomas Tuchel. But Chalobah settled and ensured England kept a clean sheet against 10-man Czech Republic. 6 Marc Guehi: The usual reliable performance from Guehi. England didn't have much defending to do but he put in a couple of important blocks. 6 Lewis Hall: The left-back combined well with Anthony Gordon and offered a good outlet for England. Hall was a threat going forward and should have scored in the second half. 7 Elliot Anderson: Dominated the midfield, kept the ball ticking for England and won possession back the few times that the Czech Republic ventured forward. A mature performance. 7 Myles Lewis-Skelly: Started the game well and was given a lot of responsibility in England's build up play. However, Lewis-Skelly was booked for a mis-timed tackle and then taken off at half time. 6 Morgan Rogers: Played Bukayo Saka through with a nice pass early on and hit the post twice. Not given much room by a Czech side who defended very deep. 6 Bukayo Saka: Not much of note to mark for Saka in what was a cagey match as England laboured when breaking down the Czech defence before Gordon's goal. 6 Anthony Gordon: A constant threat in behind and put in a dangerous cross in the first half that deserved to end up with a goal. Scored the opener and continues to show why he is becoming so important for the Three Lions. 8 Harry Kane: A quieter night for Kane who dropped deep and went looking for the ball but the England captain still got on the score sheet with a good finish inside the area in the second half. 7 Subs: Eberechi Eze (on 46, Lewis-Skelly): Added a spark to midfield. 6 Jude Bellingham (on 70, Kane): Took the captains armband and led the line. 6 Alex Scott (on 70, Anderson): Made his England debut. 6 Rio Ngumoha (on 71, Saka): His first thought was to go forward. 6 Morgan Gibbs-White (on 81, Gordon): NA Subs not used: Pickford, Steele, Konsa, Branthwaite, Garner, Calvert-Lewin, Quansah How did you rate the players?
