Throughout a dominant performance, England wrapped up one more triumph versus Albania, featuring a number of squad members turning in standout displays throughout the game.

First-choice Lineup

Dean Henderson Not a save to make during the opening 45 but then forced to intervene by an opponent's bent shot. A sliding tackle on Qazim Laci highlighted sharp reading of the game. 6/10

Jarell Quansah Examined against Albania’s biggest threat in their forward. Started through the middle early on later drifted wider after Saka came on. Seven

John Stones Moved up the pitch on the ball, something he's known for in the past. At times seemed hesitant on the ball with the tactic discontinued at half-time. 6/10

Dan Burn A constant threat from dead balls, typically, could serve as an alternative to his teammate at the back instead of alongside him. A careless pass after the break almost led to the first goal for the visitors. 6

The young full-back A further assured performance by the rising star following his first cap versus Serbia. A teammate failed to make full advantage of a gorgeous flick over the opposing backline. The left-back spot is his to lose at this stage. 7

The newcomer His first start in an England shirt. A bit careless in possession but his dangerous set-pieces posed a danger. A handy tempo-setter for the boss to call upon against sides that sit back. Booked after a reckless tackle. 6/10

The midfielder Set-pieces on corner kicks and free-kicks were dangerous. Had freedom to move in left midfield yet found himself in an offside position upon receiving in front of goal. Granted a merited rest around the 60-minute point. 6

The star midfielder Operated in an advanced position out wide and contributed with dirty work. Demonstrated glimpses of brilliance and dragged a shot high. Withdrawn towards the end for Rogers, his competition, after being booked. 7

Jarrod Bowen Was presented with England’s top opening before halftime, his effort smartly stopped by Thomas Strakosha. With a teammate holding position, it fell to him to offer an outlet down the right side yet his deliveries into the box were hit and miss. Replaced with 15 to go. Six

The captain The difference-maker netting seventy-seventh and seventy-eighth strikes at international level. The opener a typical opportunist's goal while the second a superb header after peeling away off his defender. At 32, he continues to improve and the side have every chance next summer with him leading the line. Eight

The attacker Had difficulty to influence play on the left flank. Was presented with a decent opportunity after being played in by the midfielder however the keeper denied him. Rashford made much more of effect in his place. 5
