Why it matters
The match highlights the tactical adjustments made by Tuchel and the rising form of key players in the England national football squad.
Thomas Tuchel was full of praise for Anthony Gordon after the forward continued his fine form with a goal in England's 2-0 win over Czechia in the UEFA Nations League.

Gordon's goal was his third in as many appearances for England, having also found the target in the 3-2 defeat to Spain and in the World Cup semi-final against Argentina.
"Not a lot can convert [Gordon's goal]," said Tuchel, who was equally impressed with Alexander-Arnold's precise delivery.
"There was an awful lot to do for him and to guide it into the far post was an excellent goal, a good pass and a good goal.
