Throughout a commanding display, England wrapped up one more triumph versus their opponents, featuring multiple squad members producing memorable displays on the pitch.

Starting Eleven

The goalkeeper Not a save to make during the opening 45 until called into action by an opponent's curling effort. A sliding tackle against an Albanian attacker highlighted his reading of the game. Six out of ten

The debutant Tested by the opposition's main danger in Hoxha. Operated more centrally early on later drifted out wide after a teammate came on. Seven

John Stones Moved forward on the ball, something he's known for previously. Sometimes was too casual in possession with the experiment discontinued after the break. Six

The tall defender A nuisance on corners and free-kicks, as always, perhaps is a replacement to his teammate in the backline instead of his partner. A careless ball after the break nearly resulted in the first goal for the visitors. 6

The young full-back One more composed performance from the youngster following his debut against another side. Saka failed to make full advantage of a gorgeous backheel behind the opposing backline. His position is firmly his at this stage. Seven

The newcomer A debut start with the national team. Somewhat loose in possession though his dangerous deliveries posed a danger. An effective game manager available to the coach to utilize against teams who drop deep. Booked after a reckless tackle. 6

The midfielder Deliveries from dead balls and set-plays created chances. Was given license to roam down the left flank yet found himself offside as the pass came with a chance to score. Granted a well-earned substitution around the 60-minute point. 6/10

Jude Bellingham Operated in an advanced position down the right while also put in defensive duties. Displayed glimpses of brilliance but scuffed an effort over. Substituted towards the end by a teammate, his rival, after being booked. Seven

The winger Was presented with the team's best chance of the first half, his strike well saved by the opposing goalkeeper. With Quansah hanging back, he had to offer an outlet out wide but his crosses into the box were inconsistent. Taken off for the final quarter-hour. 6

Harry Kane The difference-maker scoring two more goals for his country. The opener a typical poacher’s finish and his next a superb header having drifted away from his marker. Aged 32, his form is unwavering and the side stand a real opportunity in future competitions with him leading the line. 8/10

Eberechi Eze Struggled to influence play out wide. Had a presentable chance when set up by the midfielder however the keeper made the save. His replacement made much more of influence in his place. Five

Substitutes

• Phil Foden (for a teammate on 63 minutes) Looked lively and combined well with the striker in more familiar role, Six
• Saka (on for Eze at the 63-minute mark) Missed opportunities but his corner led to the first goal, Six
• Rashford (for the attacker with 15 left) Active after coming on and provided Kane’s second via an excellent ball to the back post, 7/10
• Anderson (for the midfielder in the 75th minute) Looks established at this level, 6/10
• Morgan Rogers (replacing Bellingham 84) Not enough time to make an impact, 6/10
