Euro 2020 Czech Republic v England ratings: Vladimir Coufal 7, Tomas Soucek 6; Raheem Sterling 7, Bukayo Saka 7

Raheem Sterling scored the goal as England found an attacking spark to beat the Czech Republic 1-0 at Wembley and clinch top spot in Group D at Euro 2020.

The Manchester City forward, who kept his place alongside Harry Kane in a changed attack also featuring Jack Grealish and Bukayo Saka, settled fans' nerves with an early headed strike, which ultimately proved decisive.

The result means Gareth Southgate's side finished top of their group with seven points while Croatia were second with four points. The Czech Republic joined them in the last 16 as one of the best third-placed teams, while Scotland went out.

With just two goals scored, England are the lowest-scoring side to ever finish top of a group at a European Championship but their defence is yet to be breached.

England now have the dubious privilege of a match-up against world champions France, holders Portugal or Germany but will have home advantage on June 29.
