First Eleven Performance

• Jordan Pickford – Made a couple of good saves in the latter period to extend his remarkable clean sheet run. It's now nine straight in a row. 6.5
• Djed Spence – Has adapted to international football with ease. Tougher tests lie ahead, of course, but a promising start to his England career. 7
• Manchester City's centre-back – Two games in less than a week will do the City defender a lot of good. Remains one of the first names on the roster, fitness permitting. 7
• Ezri Konsa – Selected ahead of the other option and didn't put a foot wrong. Made an outstanding last-ditch recovery tackle in the closing period to boot. 7
• The young defender – Looked a slightly not at his best at times, understandable given his limited game time at his club. An interesting few months ahead. 6
• Newcastle's star – Appears irreplaceable in this England team at the moment. Seems suited to this level and has developed an excellent partnership with Rice. 7
• Arsenal's engine – Excelling in his number eight role. The backbone of England's midfield is showing his attacking abilities now. Emerging as a genuine all-round midfielder. 7
• Morgan Rogers – Quieter as he has been in England's successes over previous opponents. We should find out next month who is the leading candidate of the number 10 shirt. 6
• The winger – Contributed an setup to his superb goal against Wales last Thursday. Will be crucial to England's chances next summer. 7.5
• Harry Kane – In the form of his life. Boosted his count for the season to 20 strikes. Has scored 76 occasions for his country. Is 100 possible 100? 8
• Newcastle's attacker – Clinical finish to start things off for England here in away. Has performed admirably during this international window. 7.5

The Bench Players

• The veteran (for Rice 60) – Kept play flowing in midfield. 6
• Eberechi Eze (for Rogers 60) – Superbly finished goal and a menace. 7
• The winger (for Saka 60) – Battles on his hands to make the squad when the squad is full. 6
• Newcastle's full-back (for Stones 71) – Typically, dealt with everything in the air. 6
• The forward (for Gordon 71) – One pacy run down the left was noticeable. 6

With qualification booked, England can now turn their attention for next summer with high hopes.
