During a impressive showing, the English national team wrapped up one more win against their opponents, with multiple squad members delivering memorable displays during the match.

Starting XI

Dean Henderson Was rarely tested to perform in the first half but then called into action by an opponent's curling effort. A sliding challenge against Qazim Laci showed sharp anticipation. Six out of ten

The debutant Challenged against the opposition's primary attacker through Hoxha. Played through the middle initially later drifted out wide after a teammate was introduced. 7/10

John Stones Moved into midfield with the ball at his feet, something he's known for before. Sometimes lacked urgency in possession and the approach discontinued after the break. 6/10

Dan Burn A constant threat on corners and free-kicks, as always, perhaps is an alternative for Stones in the backline rather than alongside him. A careless ball in the second half came close to an opener from the visitors. 6/10

Nico O’Reilly One more assured performance from the rising star after his first cap versus Serbia. Saka did not capitalize on the opportunity from an exquisite backheel behind their defense. His position is firmly his so soon. 7/10

Adam Wharton His first start for his country. A bit sloppy in possession however his inswinging set-pieces caused problems. An effective tempo-setter available to the coach to call upon against defensive opponents. Booked after a reckless tackle. 6/10

Declan Rice Crosses on corner kicks and set-plays created chances. Enjoyed freedom to roam down the left flank only to be offside as the pass came in front of goal. Given a deserved break around the 60-minute point. Six

Jude Bellingham Functioned in a forward position on the right and put in the hard yards. Demonstrated glimpses of brilliance but mishit an attempt over. Replaced late on by Rogers, his rival, after being booked. Seven

The winger Had England’s clearest opportunity before halftime, his shot smartly stopped from Thomas Strakosha. With Quansah staying deep, it fell to him to offer an outlet out wide although his balls into the box varied in quality. Substituted with 15 to go. 6

Harry Kane The difference-maker netting two more strikes at international level. His first a trademark close-range tap-in while the second a superb header having drifted away away from the opposition. Now 32, he continues to improve with the national team are strong contenders in the upcoming tournament when he's in the team. 8

Eberechi Eze Had difficulty to get into the game on the left flank. Had a decent opportunity when set up by the midfielder but the keeper made the save. His replacement had a greater an impact when substituted. 5/10
