England thrashed the Czech Republic 5-0 at Wembley on Friday night in their first Euro 2020 qualifying match.
Raheem Sterling scored a hat-trick whilst Harry Kane also got on the scoresheet and Tomas Kalas put the ball in his own net to round off the victory.

Now Raheem’s a poacher supreme for Southgate
Sterling's first goal was just like watching him in action for Manchester City. How many times have we seen him score that kind of tap-in for Pep Guardiola’s champions?
The biggest transformation in Sterling’s game is his movement off the ball. All but one of his Premier League goals this season has been scored inside the box and he has become brilliant at sniffing out those dangerous positions.
