Gareth Southgate says England got what they deserved after the Czech Republic inflicted their first qualifying defeat in a decade.

The Three Lions blew the chance to seal Euro 2020 qualification with three matches to spare as the Czechs capitalised on the visitors' listless performance in Prague.

Harry Kane's fifth-minute penalty was as good as it got for England, with Jakub Brabec quickly levelling and substitute Zdenek Ondrasek netting a dream debut goal late on as the Czech Republic secured a memorable 2-1 comeback win.

Czech counterpart Jaroslav Silhavy spoke in the pre-match press conference about targeting England's imperfections, yet could hardly believe how much joy they experienced on Friday night.

"I'm obviously over the moon but I have to thank my players, first and foremost, because they played great," he said.

"It was a 100 per cent performance and that is the only way to succeed really, so we are very happy and I think time will show that we made history tonight because we defeated England after so many years and at a time when they are playing really well.

"The performance was really great, we were active and made England sweat even though they are a very strong team."
