In a impressive display, the English national team secured a further victory versus their opponents, featuring a number of squad members producing standout displays throughout the game.

First-choice XI

Dean Henderson Had little to do to make during the opening 45 but then tested from Arbër Hoxha’s bent shot. A sliding tackle on Qazim Laci showed his anticipation. 6/10

Jarell Quansah Challenged against the opposition's main danger through Hoxha. Operated through the middle early on but moved wider after Saka was introduced. 7

John Stones Moved forward on the ball, as he has done before. Sometimes seemed hesitant on the ball and the tactic discontinued after the break. 6/10

Dan Burn Always dangerous from dead balls, typically, could serve as an alternative to his teammate in defense as opposed to alongside him. A loose ball after the break came close to an opener for the visitors. 6/10

The young full-back One more assured showing from the rising star following his initial appearance against another side. Saka did not capitalize on the most of a gorgeous touch over their defense. The left-back spot is firmly his so soon. Seven

Adam Wharton A debut start for his country. Somewhat careless when playing out but his dangerous corners caused problems. A useful game manager for the boss to have versus defensive opponents. Booked for a poorly timed challenge. 6/10

Declan Rice Set-pieces on corner kicks and set-plays were dangerous. Enjoyed freedom to roam in left midfield yet found himself offside upon receiving in shooting positions. Given a deserved substitution on the hour mark. 6

The star midfielder Played in a forward role on the right while also put in dirty work. Displayed glimpses of brilliance and mishit an effort high. Withdrawn towards the end for Rogers, his competition, after receiving a caution. Seven

The winger Had England’s top opening of the first half, his shot smartly stopped from the opposing goalkeeper. As Quansah hanging back, it fell to him to offer an outlet down the right side yet his deliveries from wide areas were inconsistent. Substituted for the final quarter-hour. 6

The captain The decisive figure netting two more strikes for his country. The first a trademark close-range tap-in and the second a superb finish with his head after peeling away away from the opposition. Aged 32, he continues to improve and England stand a real opportunity in future competitions when he's in the team. 8

Eberechi Eze Found it tough to get into the game out wide. Was presented with a good opening following a pass from a teammate however the keeper kept it out. His replacement produced a bigger influence in his place. 5/10

Substitutes

• Phil Foden (replacing a teammate 63) Looked lively and linked up effectively with the striker in more familiar role, 6
• Bukayo Saka (for Eze at the 63-minute mark) Spurned chances but his corner led to the opener, 6
• Marcus Rashford (replacing the attacker 75) Active when brought on assisting the captain's brace with a brilliant delivery to the back post, 7
• Anderson (on for Wharton in the 75th minute) Looks established so soon, Six
• Morgan Rogers (for Bellingham 84) Not enough time to make an impact, 6
