Gareth Southgate fielded a number of youngsters last night, and none of them disappointed him. England went ahead with a new-look back 4, as both Chilwell and Michael Keane started for them. Keane earned his 6th international cap last night and did not have much problem in negotiating with the Czech forwards.

Harry Maguire and Kyle Walker were the two other defenders for England last night. Even Maguire is relatively inexperienced and was playing in his 17th international match only. However, he did not have to do much yesterday, as the Czech forwards hardly troubled him.

Moreover, 18-Year-old Callum Hudson-Odoi also made his debut for England last night, as he was introduced in the second half in place of Sterling. He impressed with his cameo and contributed towards England’s 5th goal.

His goal-bound shot was parried by the Czech goalkeeper, but their defender Kalas failed to get hold of the ball properly. His clumsy clearance found its way into the Czech goal, and England registered a resounding win.
