England vs Czech Republic player ratings: Raheem Sterling shines with Wembley hat-trick

England got their Euro 2020 qualifying campaign off to the perfect start with a thumping 5-0 win over Czech Republic on Friday night.

Gareth Southgate's men dominated from start to finish, with a Raheem Sterling hat-trick, Harry Kane penalty and Tomas Kalas own goal handing the hosts victory.

It was a memorable night, too, for Declan Rice and Callum Hudson-Odoi who came off the bench to make their England debuts. 

Attention now turns to Monday's visit to Montenegro where England will be expected to pick up three more points.

So how did Southgate's men fare? See the gallery below for our player ratings.
