Raheem Sterling Leads England to Easy Euro 2020 Qualifier Win vs. Czech Republic

England successfully began 2020 UEFA European Championship qualifying after a 5-0 victory over the Czech Republic on Friday.

Raheem Sterling's extraordinary form continued as the forward scored a hat-trick, with Harry Kane netting a penalty on the stroke of half-time.

Borussia Dortmund starlet Jadon Sancho provided an assist on his competitive debut for the Three Lions as he started in the attack. Chelsea prodigy Callum Hudson-Odoi was also given his first cap, replacing Sterling in the second half.

Hudson-Adoi's aggressive dribble and shot was rewarded in the closing stages. The effort rebounded off Tomas Kalas for an own goal.
