Northern Ireland have already sealed second place, but only the best eight of the nine runners-up qualify for the play-offs (excluding results against the bottom team in each group).

At the moment they're fine. But they could do with a result against Germany at home or Norway away to ensure they are not the worst second-placed team.

Of course, win both those games and hope Germany lose to Azerbaijan, and they will qualify for the World Cup automatically.

England have games against Slovenia and Lithuania remaining - two points from those two games will be enough to book a place in Russia.

If you were to read the stats, you'd think Northern Ireland hadn't played well. But they did what needed to be done, took their chances when they came.

The Czechs won on shots (11-5), possession (77%-23%). They won on corners, duels won, passes attempted, passes completed.

But on goals? It was 2-0 to Northern Ireland. Scoring their only two efforts on target.

That's seven clean sheets out of eight games in this group. That's five wins in a row. That's five clean sheets in a row.

Gareth Southgate has consistently said that he will not name a permanent captain and I don't expect that to change.

In the end, England deservedly won the game. We are one foot closer to Russia.

I would have given man of the match to Jordan Henderson. He took responsibility and wasn't afraid to have the ball. I think he is prime candidate to be captain of England permanently.

A very good win for England, considering they were absolutely awful for the first 35 minutes or so.

The World Cup is close now.

Raheem Sterling has played better in the few minutes he's been on tonight than he managed in the 45 in Malta. He had a shocker out there.

England send on Jake Livermore to see the game out. He'll replace Dele Alli.

Michael O'Neill's Northern Ireland have done it again. They have clinched second place in the group, which will probably be enough for a World Cup play-off place.

Five wins in a row. Five clean sheets in a row. What a job. What an era for Northern Irish football.

England are still heading to Russia as it stands. They can't go through tonight but they are going to be close IF they hold on for the last few minutes.

We are into stoppage time.

Three minutes added on until another famous win for Northern Ireland. They've had a lot of them under the current boss.

Before the game Gareth Southgate said we were nowhere near the levels of Spain or Germany but I definitely think we are heading in the right direction.

Jonny Evans is named as man of the match. Thousands of NI fans bouncing up and down. The local houses must be shaking.

Some of the England fans are making for the exits. Perhaps they are confident of an England victory or it could be they are back at school tomorrow after the summer holiday.

A crowd of almost 70,000 have officially been at Wembley tonight but they are starting to drift away. Must be the same guy on the turnstiles who does the Emirates every other week...

Into the last five.

Northern Ireland boss Michael O'Neill calls for his fans to give them one last push. And they are ROCKING THE HOUSE. Fantastic atmosphere.

We have watched some poor, poor performances, but the last two years have been incredible.

I never thought I would be watching something like this from Northern Ireland.

Think the Czechs have basically given up now. They know they're not going to score three goals in five minutes. Against a team who are close to a fifth consecutive clean sheet.

A strong run in from the wing by Raheem Sterling and a powerful shot which is deflected into the hands of Martin Dubravka. England are very nearly there.

You talk about people with creativity, people who will excite you and get you off your seat, well Marcus Rashford is one of those.
