During a dominant performance, England secured another victory against their opponents, featuring several squad members producing notable performances during the match.

First-choice Lineup

Dean Henderson Had little to do required before the break before tested from an opponent's curled attempt. His sliding tackle on Qazim Laci demonstrated excellent anticipation. 6/10

The debutant Examined by the opposition's biggest threat through their forward. Played more centrally to begin with but moved out wide once a teammate was introduced. Seven

The defender Pushed forward with the ball at his feet, a familiar role in the past. On occasion was too casual in possession and the tactic was shelved by the interval. 6

Dan Burn A constant threat from dead balls, typically, could serve as an alternative for Stones at the back as opposed to alongside him. A loose ball after the break nearly resulted in an opener from the visitors. 6

The young full-back A further assured showing by the 20-year-old following his debut against Serbia. A teammate was unable to take the opportunity from a clever flick behind their defense. His position is his to lose already. 7

Adam Wharton A debut start with the national team. A bit loose on the ball however his dangerous set-pieces were a threat. An effective game manager for the boss to utilize against defensive opponents. Booked for a rash foul. Six

The midfielder Crosses from corners and set-plays were dangerous. Had freedom to drift down the left flank but was offside as the pass came in shooting positions. Granted a merited rest after an hour. Six

The star midfielder Operated in an advanced role out wide and put in dirty work. Showed moments of class but scuffed an attempt high. Replaced in the closing stages by Rogers, his rival, following a yellow card. Seven

The winger Had England’s best chance of the first half, his effort excellently kept out by Thomas Strakosha. As Quansah staying deep, it fell to him to offer an outlet down the right side although his balls from wide areas were hit and miss. Replaced late in the match. Six

The captain The match-winner netting two more goals in an England shirt. The opener a typical opportunist's goal while the second a superb finish with his head having drifted away from his marker. Now 32, he continues to improve with the national team are strong contenders in the upcoming tournament with him up top. Eight

Eberechi Eze Found it tough to make an impact out wide. Had a decent opportunity after being played in by Bellingham however Strakosha denied him. His replacement had a greater influence in his place. 5

Substitutes

  • Foden (for Rice on 63 minutes) Was bright connecting seamlessly with Kane in more familiar role, 6
  • Bukayo Saka (for the winger at the 63-minute mark) Failed to convert although his set-piece created the opener, 6/10
  • Marcus Rashford (for the attacker 75) Lively upon introduction assisting the second goal with superb cross to the far post, 7
  • Elliot Anderson (on for Wharton 75) Looks established so soon, Six
  • Rogers (for the star 84) Too brief a spell to influence the game, 6/10
