England made an impressive start to their Euro 2020 qualifying campaign as they smashed 5 past the Czech Republic.

Teamed with Raheem Sterling's brilliant hat-trick, Jadon Sancho's cross in the 23rd minute, and Harry Kane's penalty, it put England in complete control near half-time.   

Meanwhile, world champions France secured a comfortable victory against Moldova.

Reigning champions Portugal, however, were held to a frustrating goalless draw in their opening qualifier.
