England's shock Euro 2020 qualification defeat a 'wake up call', says Kane

The Three Lions went down to their first defeat in 43 qualification matches but their skipper doesn't think it's time to worry

Harry Kane believes England’s shock Euro 2020 qualification loss to the Czech Republic is a wake-up call but insisted there was no need to panic.

The skipper gave England the lead after five minutes from the penalty spot, converting for his 27th international goal after Raheem Sterling was fouled.

The Czechs hit back almost immediately, levelling things after less than five minutes had elapsed. Jakub Brabec scored his first goal for his country, poking home from close range after a Jakub Kankto free kick caused panic in the England back line.
