Harry Kane praised Anthony Gordon as England’s "difference maker" while commending the return of Trent Alexander-Arnold following both Spain-based players' impressive performances in the victory over Czechia.

Thomas Tuchel’s side recovered from Saturday’s chaotic 3-2 defeat against Spain with a vital Nations League win in Prague, where Pavel Sulc received a first-half red card for the hosts.

England’s record goalscorer Kane wrapped up the 2-0 victory on Tuesday night, after Gordon broke the deadlock by heading home an excellent cross from Alexander-Arnold shortly after half-time.

The 25-year-old winger has now scored in three consecutive international caps, and Bayern Munich striker Kane believes his high-profile move from Newcastle to Barcelona has elevated his confidence.

"I think sometimes going to a big club like that gives you more self-belief, more confidence," the England skipper said.

"You feel like you belong on the biggest stage and I think he’s taken that into his England performances.

"He was outstanding against Spain on Saturday, again today he was the difference maker. He was always looking to be direct and be the one to get us ahead and a great finish from him as well.

"A lovely ball by Trent, but those finishes aren’t easy and he took it really well."
