Starting Lineup

Dean Henderson Was rarely tested required during the opening 45 until forced to intervene by an opponent's curled attempt. A sliding challenge against Qazim Laci highlighted excellent reading of the game. Six out of ten

Jarell Quansah Examined against the opposition's biggest threat in Hoxha. Operated through the middle to begin with later drifted wider after a teammate came on. 7

The defender Moved up the pitch when in possession, something he's known for before. Sometimes seemed hesitant when carrying play and the approach was shelved by the interval. 6/10

Dan Burn A nuisance from dead balls, per usual, could serve as a replacement for Stones at the back rather than alongside him. A careless pass after the break came close to an opener for the visitors. 6

Nico O’Reilly One more assured display from the rising star following his initial appearance versus another side. A teammate failed to make full advantage of a clever touch over their defense. His position is firmly his so soon. Seven

Adam Wharton His first start for his country. Somewhat loose on the ball though his dangerous deliveries were a threat. A useful pace-controller available to the coach to utilize versus teams who drop deep. Cautioned after a reckless challenge. 6/10

The midfielder Crosses from corners and set-plays caused problems. Enjoyed license to drift on the left but was offside as the pass came with a chance to score. Granted a deserved break on the hour mark. Six

The star midfielder Played in a forward spot down the right and also contributed with dirty work. Showed moments of class and dragged a shot high. Withdrawn late on by Rogers, a fellow player, following a yellow card. 7/10

Jarrod Bowen Had the team's clearest opportunity before halftime, his strike excellently kept out by the opposing goalkeeper. As a teammate holding position, he had to stretch the play down the right side yet his deliveries into the box varied in quality. Taken off for the final quarter-hour. 6/10

The captain The match-winner netting seventy-seventh and seventy-eighth strikes for his country. The first a classic poacher’s finish and his next a superb header having drifted away from his marker. At 32, his form is unwavering and England are strong contenders in the upcoming tournament when he's in the team. Eight

Eberechi Eze Struggled to influence play on the left flank. Was presented with a decent opportunity after being played in by Bellingham but Strakosha denied him. Rashford produced a bigger an impact in his place. 5/10
