The goalkeeper Not a save to perform in the first half before tested by an opponent's curled attempt. A sliding intervention on Qazim Laci highlighted sharp reading of the game. 6/10

Jarell Quansah Challenged by the opposition's biggest threat through their forward. Played through the middle to begin with later drifted wider after Saka came on. 7/10

John Stones Pushed up the pitch on the ball, as he has done previously. On occasion lacked urgency in possession with the tactic abandoned at half-time. Six

The tall defender A constant threat at set pieces, per usual, could serve as another option to his teammate in the backline instead of his partner. One wayward ball after the break came close to an opener from the visitors. 6/10

Nico O’Reilly One more assured showing from the youngster after his initial appearance against another side. Saka failed to make the most of an exquisite touch behind the opposing backline. The left-back spot looks secure so soon. Seven

Adam Wharton A debut start for his country. Slightly careless in possession however his dangerous corners posed a danger. A handy game manager for the coach to have against sides that sit back. Shown a yellow for a rash tackle. Six

The midfielder Set-pieces from dead balls and free kicks created chances. Enjoyed freedom to roam in left midfield but was in an offside position upon receiving in front of goal. Granted a merited break after an hour. Six

Jude Bellingham Operated in a high position down the right while also did plenty of the hard yards. Showed moments of class but scuffed an effort over. Substituted late on for Rogers, his competition, after receiving a caution. 7

The winger Was presented with the team's top opening of the first half, his strike excellently kept out by the opposing goalkeeper. As a teammate hanging back, he was forced to stretch the play down the right side but his crosses from the touchline varied in quality. Substituted for the final quarter-hour. Six

The captain The decisive figure scoring seventy-seventh and seventy-eighth strikes in an England shirt. His first a typical close-range tap-in and his next an excellent headed goal after peeling away from his marker. At 32, he continues to improve with the national team are strong contenders next summer with him up top. Eight
