Harry Kane lauded Anthony Gordon as England’s “difference maker” while celebrating the return of Trent Alexander-Arnold following their impressive performances in the Nations League victory over Czechia. England, recovering from a chaotic 3-2 defeat to Spain, secured a crucial 2-0 win in Prague, aided by a first-half red card to Pavel Sulc of the hosts.

Gordon opened the scoring shortly after halftime, heading in a brilliant cross from Alexander-Arnold. The 25-year-old winger has now scored in three consecutive international matches, and Kane believes his move from Newcastle to Barcelona has boosted his confidence.

Kane remarked, “Going to a big club like that gives you more self-belief, more confidence... he was outstanding against Spain on Saturday, again today he was the difference maker.” He praised Gordon’s directness and finishing ability, highlighting the quality of the assist from Alexander-Arnold.

In addition, Kane commended Alexander-Arnold for his solid performance, saying, “Trent’s outstanding... he’s been great in camp so far.” The right-back’s key assist marked a significant moment in his first start under Thomas Tuchel, who previously limited his international appearances.

Looking ahead, England prepares for their next Nations League matches against Croatia and Czechia at Wembley. Kane stands on the brink of equaling Peter Shilton’s record of 125 caps and continues his pursuit of a century of goals for his country. “100 goals for the national team would be something special without a doubt,” he stated.

As England gears up for these challenges, Kane remains focused on his role: “The striker’s job is to score goals first and foremost, and I love doing that.”
