Throughout a impressive display, the English national team secured another win against their opponents, with multiple players producing standout displays throughout the game.

Starting Lineup

The goalkeeper Was rarely tested to perform in the first half but then called into action from Arbër Hoxha’s curled attempt. One well-timed sliding challenge against Qazim Laci highlighted sharp anticipation. Six out of ten

Jarell Quansah Examined against the opposition's primary attacker through their forward. Started more centrally early on but moved out wide once Saka was introduced. 7/10

The defender Moved forward with the ball at his feet, as he has done previously. Sometimes seemed hesitant when carrying play with the tactic discontinued after the break. 6/10

The tall defender A constant threat from dead balls, as always, could serve as a replacement for Stones in the backline instead of paired with him. A careless distribution after the break almost led to an opener for the visitors. 6

The young full-back A further composed display from the rising star after his debut against another side. A teammate failed to make full advantage of an exquisite backheel behind the opposing backline. His position looks secure already. Seven

The newcomer His first start in an England shirt. Slightly loose in possession though his inswinging set-pieces were a threat. A useful pace-controller available to the manager to call upon versus defensive opponents. Booked for a rash foul. 6

The midfielder Deliveries from dead balls and set-plays created chances. Was given room to roam in left midfield but was in an offside position upon receiving with a chance to score. Awarded a merited substitution around the 60-minute point. 6/10

Jude Bellingham Played in an advanced role on the right while also put in dirty work. Showed flashes of quality but dragged a shot high. Substituted towards the end for a teammate, his rival, after being booked. 7/10

The winger Was presented with England’s clearest opportunity before halftime, his strike smartly stopped from the opposing goalkeeper. As a teammate holding position, it fell to him to offer an outlet out wide but his crosses into the box were inconsistent. Replaced for the final quarter-hour. 6/10

Harry Kane The match-winner netting seventy-seventh and seventy-eighth strikes in an England shirt. The opener a classic close-range tap-in while the second a classy header having drifted away off his defender. Aged 32, his form is unwavering with the national team stand a real opportunity next summer with him leading the line. 8/10

Eberechi Eze Had difficulty to make an impact out wide. Was presented with a decent opportunity after being played in by the midfielder yet Strakosha denied him. His replacement made much more of influence when substituted. 5
