Czech Republic 0-1 England: Raheem Sterling the match winner for Gareth Southgate's side as Three Lions top Euro 2020 Group D
Raheem Sterling was England's Wembley match-winner once again as his early header earned a 1-0 victory over Czech Republic, sealing top spot in Group D and setting up a last-16 tie next Tuesday with the runners-up of the pool containing France, Germany, Portugal and Hungary, according to Sky Sports.
Local lad Sterling (12) made the difference against Croatia in England's opening match of Euro 2020 and he doubled his tally for the tournament with a close-range header from Jack Grealish's excellent cross, after earlier hitting the post inside two minutes.
England were without Mason Mount and Ben Chilwell, who had been forced to isolate after Scotland's Billy Gilmour tested positive for coronavirus, but played with an attacking freedom in the first half which had been missing from their first two group games, with 19-year-old Bukayo Saka a standout performer on his first start of the competition, and Harry Kane denied by a good save.
Czech Republic gave as good as they got, with Tomas Holes forcing Jordan Pickford into a good stop and Tomas Soucek shooting wastefully wide, and the visitors controlled possession for long periods in the second half, with sub Tomas Pekhart dragging a shot just wide late on.

England had a Jordan Henderson goal ruled out for offside in the closing moments but at the other end they held firm, recording three clean sheets in a major tournament group stage for the first time since the 1966 World Cup.
They now turn their attentions to what will surely be a far stiffer examination from one of Europe's heavyweights back at Wembley next week.
As for Czech Republic, they ultimately go through in third, with Croatia grabbing second spot with a 3-1 win over Scotland at Hampden Park.
Croatia 3-1 Scotland: Vatreni battle past Scots to reach round of 16
Goals by Nikola Vlašić, Luka Modrić and Ivan Perišić earned Croatia a victory in Glasgow that clinched the runners-up berth in Group D and a place in the last 16, as co-hosts Scotland bowed out of the tournament, as reported by UEFA.
Both sides needed a win to take them through to the knockout phase and when, minutes in, John McGinn’s searching cross dropped just out of Ché Adams' reach, it heralded a captivating do-or-die contest.
Croatia were first to strike in the 17th minute. Bruno Petković cushioned down Josip Juranović's floated cross for Vlašić to squeeze a shot inside David Marshall's bottom corner.

Modrić looked to control and consolidate as Croatia found their rhythm, but Scotland's high pressing paid off close to half-time when a scuffed Croatian clearance reached Callum McGregor, who drilled home to restore parity.
Knowing a draw would send both teams home, there was no let-up in a tireless second half. On 62 minutes, Croatia regained the lead: this time Modrić's stunning outside-of-the-boot curler beat Marshall. Late on, the Vatreni added sheen to the scoreline as Perišić glanced home from a corner to complete the triumph and rubber-stamp their knockout ticket.
