England failed to secure a Euro 2020 spot in advance as they suffered a shock defeat to Czech Republic.
Match Report
Harry Kane's early penalty put England ahead in Prague, but the Czech Republic came from behind to win 2-1 in Friday's Group A game.
Zdenek Ondrasek came off the bench on his international debut to earn the Czech Republic a 2-1 win at home to England, denying the Three Lions qualification for Euro 2020.
Harry Kane's fifth-minute penalty - the England captain's 27th international goal - put Gareth Southgate's side in front early on Friday, yet the hosts hit back within five minutes.
Centre-back Jakub Brabec profited on slack set-piece marking to level the scores and, as the game appeared to be drifting towards a draw, the Czech Republic struck again.
With five minutes to go, Lukas Masopust raided down the right and pulled a low cross back for striker Ondrasek, who confidently beat Jordan Pickford to snatch all three points.

5' Penalty Goal! Czech Republic 0-1 England (Kane)
PENALTY! Sterling is set free down the left flank and then enters the penalty box before looking to cut inside near the byline, but he sees his right leg clipps by Kral and the referee points to the spot.
Kane makes it 1-0 to England! The striker puts the ball down on the spot and then drills a low effort down the middle to give the visitors an early lead.
9' GOAL! Czech Republic 1-1 England (Brabec)
Czech Republic have a corner on the right which is curled towards Celustka in the centre, and he flicks the ball towards Brabec who tucks it home at the back post!
33' CHANCE! Mount's shot blocked
Kane receives the ball in plenty of space on the right-hand side of the box and sees his drilled effort deflected into the path of Mount in a central position, but the midfielder can't quite adjust to get a shot away and he fails to test Vaclik.
47' Darida's long shot wide out
Boril travels forward with the ball down the right flank before cutting it inside to Darida in a central position on the edge of the box, but he then fires his long-range effort well over Pickford's crossbar.
58' SAVE! Fine stop from world-class Pickford
The ball drops to Masopust on the right wing and he then edges into a more central position before swinging a shot towards the top left-hand corner which Pickford needs to push over the bar.
81' SAVE! Vaclik denies Kane
Barkley picks it up on the right flank and then picks out Kane's run in the centre with a fine curled delivery, but Kane takes a heavy first touch away from goal and then sees his tight effort blocked by Vaclik.
85' GOAL! Czech Republic 2-1 England (Ondrasek)
Masopust carries the ball to the right-hand byline before pulling back a fine delivery for an unmarked Ondrasek, and the debutant tucks the ball into the bottom right-hand corner to put the hosts in front!

An English poem from Kane: English people like to drink tea; And my favourite tea is penalty. We are called Lion thy three; But we didn't qualify for Euro2020 People are always jealous of me; Coz mu favourite tea is penalty... ππ

They played better and Southgate as I expected messed up big time with the line up. 1. Rose was trash and I said Chillwell should play. 2. I was expecting Abraham much earlier like with 20 mins to go and Southgate brings in Trashford instead who cant beat the first man crossing and Barkley who got the confidence of a 9 year old at a music recital. 3. I said Tomori should come in cos Keane would be shaky and I wasnt wrong. 4. I'm almost starting to think I'd be a better manager than Southgate if he keeps doing this sh**. 5. Sad thing is people will now say England is overrated when the reality is the only reason England even get ratings in the first place is cos of Chelsea academy now otherwise most people never rated our national team in the first place. At this rate Chelsea will own 80% of the starters cos our English players are just that good for the majority.

What makes it a shock defeat, England scored first courtesy of penalty and Czech came from behind to win in open play... Literally Czech were the better team today.... It's never easy to win away from home in international match. π‘

That's what happens when you depend on Harry Kane's Penalties while leaving Tammy Abraham on the Bench till it's too late to mend

Harry Kane was wasteful. other than penalty he missed all open goals tapings and chances which a striker should score easily. Abraham should start ahead of Kane looking at the form. Kane is sorely responsible for England's lose

England players forget their zeal at home. Midfield was lust and disorganized. I think experience still matter in this team. nevertheless, let's give credit to Czech Republic for brilliant display.

I don't understand Gareth Southgate anymore, how can you be playing 1-1 as at 78th mins and all you have to do is to sub Mount for useless barkley and sub sancho for useless rashford when you have Abraham and some classic midfielders on your bench....
