Czech Republic vs England, Euro 2020 Qualifiers: 4 Things we learned from the match

#2 Nervy England on set-pieces

Celustka found Brabec from a set-piece to equalise for the Czech

Gareth Southgate's unit was slow in build-up and tested the Czech Republic backline only on occasion. Yet it wasn't their worst feature on the night, they were nightmarish on defending corners. There seemed to be no plan in terms of man-marking or zonal defending which constantly exposed England but they were lucky only to concede from one of the set pieces.

Jankto's corner found Celustka close to the penalty spot and the full-back, who was in space thanks to Declan Rice who had taken a tumble, found Brabec who managed to direct the ball into the back of the net. Micheal Keane just stood and watched as his opponent reacted, which was emblematic of England's defending on set-pieces.

Every time the Czech went forward and won a corner or a freekick, the England marking looked susceptible and had it not been for Pickford, Czech Republic may have finished the game off earlier.
