Throughout a impressive showing, the English national team clinched another win against their opponents, with multiple squad members delivering notable displays during the match.

Starting Eleven

The goalkeeper Was rarely tested to perform during the opening 45 before forced to intervene from an opponent's curled attempt. One well-timed sliding intervention against an Albanian attacker demonstrated sharp anticipation. 6/10

Jarell Quansah Challenged by the opposition's primary attacker through their forward. Played through the middle to begin with but moved wider once a teammate entered the fray. Seven

The defender Pushed into midfield when in possession, as he has done before. On occasion seemed hesitant when carrying play and the tactic was shelved by the interval. Six

The tall defender A constant threat on corners and free-kicks, as always, perhaps is an alternative to Stones at the back instead of alongside him. A loose pass later in the match nearly resulted in a goal for the visitors. Six

The young full-back Another composed showing by the 20-year-old after his debut versus another side. Saka failed to make the most of a gorgeous flick behind their defense. The left-back spot looks secure already. 7/10

The newcomer His maiden beginning with the national team. Slightly sloppy in possession however his whipped deliveries caused problems. A handy tempo-setter for the manager to call upon against teams who drop deep. Shown a yellow for a rash tackle. 6

Declan Rice Set-pieces from corners and free-kicks were dangerous. Enjoyed freedom to drift down the left flank only to be offside when the ball arrived with a chance to score. Granted a merited substitution around the 60-minute point. Six

Jude Bellingham Played in a forward spot on the right and also put in the hard yards. Displayed glimpses of brilliance but dragged an attempt wide. Substituted towards the end by Rogers, his rival, after being booked. 7

The winger Had England’s clearest opportunity before halftime, his strike smartly stopped from the opposing goalkeeper. As a teammate staying deep, it fell to him to offer an outlet on the right although his balls into the box were inconsistent. Replaced late in the match. Six

Harry Kane The match-winner with his two more strikes in an England shirt. The opener a typical poacher’s finish and his next a classy header following a clever run away from the opposition. Now 32, he’s only getting better and England have every chance in future competitions when he's in the team. 8

The attacker Found it tough to make an impact out wide. Was presented with a decent opportunity after being played in by the midfielder however the keeper denied him. His replacement had a greater influence in his place. Five

Substitutes

• Foden (for a teammate 63) Was bright connecting seamlessly with Kane in a preferred position, Six
• Bukayo Saka (for Eze at the 63-minute mark) Missed opportunities yet his delivery provided the first goal, 6/10
• Rashford (for the attacker 75) Lively upon introduction and provided Kane’s second via an excellent ball into the area, 7
• Anderson (on for the midfielder in the 75th minute) Seems settled already, 6
• Morgan Rogers (for the star with minutes remaining) Too brief a spell to influence the game, 6/10
