The Czech’s moved level with England atop Group A having played an extra game than their star-studded opponents with three rounds remaining.

Ondrasek replaced Patrik Schick after 65 minutes with the game level at 1-1 and the striker could barely believe he had scored the winner against the 2018 World Cup semi-finalists.“I think it still doesn’t feel right, I’m happy that I scored, but I don’t feel it,” he told UEFA.com.

“It’s so big I think my head will explode soon because I played my first game for my country, which I was waiting for so long, and I scored the winning goal against England. I’m so happy it’s unbelievable.“The other guys on the bench said ‘score a goal, man’. So after an amazing pass from [Lukas] Masopust I hit it perfectly and I’m so happy It went in.“The Czech Republic finish their qualifying campaign in November with a home game against Kosovo before a trip to Bulgaria in the final round.
