During a impressive showing, the English national team secured another victory versus their opponents, with multiple squad members delivering notable displays throughout the game.

First-choice Lineup

The goalkeeper Was rarely tested required during the opening 45 before forced to intervene from an opponent's bent shot. His sliding intervention on Qazim Laci showed his anticipation. Six out of ten

The debutant Tested against the opposition's primary attacker in their forward. Operated more centrally early on but moved out wide after Saka was introduced. 7/10

John Stones Advanced up the pitch with the ball at his feet, a familiar role in the past. Sometimes was too casual in possession and the tactic discontinued at half-time. Six

Dan Burn A nuisance at set pieces, as always, but may be another option for Stones in the backline instead of his partner. A loose pass after the break came close to an opener for the visitors. 6/10

The young full-back Another confident display by the youngster following his initial appearance versus another side. Saka was unable to take the most of a gorgeous flick behind the opposing backline. His position looks secure already. Seven

Adam Wharton His maiden beginning in an England shirt. Slightly careless when playing out but his whipped corners caused problems. An effective pace-controller available to the boss to have against teams who drop deep. Shown a yellow for a poorly timed foul. 6

The midfielder Crosses from dead balls and free kicks were dangerous. Had room to drift in left midfield yet found himself offside when the ball arrived in front of goal. Awarded a well-earned rest around the 60-minute point. 6/10

Jude Bellingham Played in a forward role down the right and also put in defensive duties. Demonstrated flashes of quality but scuffed an attempt wide. Withdrawn late on for Rogers, his rival, following a yellow card. 7/10

Jarrod Bowen Was presented with the team's best chance of the first half, his effort well saved from Thomas Strakosha. With Quansah hanging back, it fell to him to stretch the play down the right side yet his deliveries from wide areas varied in quality. Substituted with 15 to go. 6/10

The captain The decisive figure netting two more strikes in an England shirt. The first a trademark poacher’s finish and the second a classy header after peeling away off his defender. Now 32, he continues to improve and England are strong contenders in future competitions with him leading the line. 8

The attacker Had difficulty to get into the game out wide. Was presented with a decent opportunity following a pass by the midfielder but Strakosha made the save. His replacement made much more of influence when substituted. Five

Replacements

• Phil Foden (replacing a teammate 63) Looked lively and combined effectively with Kane in more familiar role, Six
• Saka (on for the winger 63) Missed opportunities but his corner created the first goal, 6/10
• Marcus Rashford (for Bowen with 15 left) Active upon introduction and provided the captain's brace via an excellent ball into the area, 7
• Anderson (on for Wharton in the 75th minute) Appears comfortable at this level, Six
• Rogers (for Bellingham 84) Too brief a spell to make an impact, Six
