In a commanding showing, England wrapped up a further triumph against Albania, featuring several squad members turning in memorable displays during the match.

Starting Lineup

Dean Henderson Had little to do required before the break but then forced to intervene from Arbër Hoxha’s curled attempt. A sliding challenge on Qazim Laci highlighted excellent anticipation. Six out of ten

Jarell Quansah Examined by Albania’s main danger in Hoxha. Started in a central role to begin with then shifted to the flank once Saka was introduced. 7/10

The defender Moved into midfield with the ball at his feet, a familiar role previously. At times lacked urgency when carrying play with the experiment discontinued at half-time. 6/10

Dan Burn Always dangerous on corners and free-kicks, as always, but may be a replacement to Stones in the backline rather than his partner. A careless ball in the second half came close to the first goal for the visitors. 6

The young full-back A further assured display by the 20-year-old after his first cap versus Serbia. A teammate did not capitalize on the opportunity from a clever flick over their defense. The role looks secure already. 7/10

The newcomer His first start for his country. Somewhat loose on the ball but his inswinging set-pieces were a threat. An effective game manager for the manager to utilize versus defensive opponents. Shown a yellow for a poorly timed challenge. Six

Declan Rice Set-pieces on corner kicks and free-kicks created chances. Was given room to roam down the left flank but was offside as the pass came with a chance to score. Given a merited rest around the 60-minute point. 6/10

Jude Bellingham Operated in a forward role on the right and also contributed with the hard yards. Demonstrated flashes of quality but scuffed an effort over. Withdrawn late on for Rogers, his competition, after being booked. 7

Jarrod Bowen Had the team's best chance of the first half, his effort excellently kept out from Thomas Strakosha. As a teammate holding position, he had to provide width down the right side but his crosses from the touchline varied in quality. Taken off with 15 to go. 6/10

Harry Kane The difference-maker with his seventy-seventh and seventy-eighth finishes at international level. His first a trademark close-range tap-in while the second a classy header following a clever run away from the opposition. At 32, he continues to improve and the side have every chance in future competitions when he's in the team. 8

The attacker Found it tough to get into the game on the left flank. Was presented with a decent opportunity when set up by Bellingham yet Strakosha made the save. Rashford produced a bigger effect when substituted. 5

Bench Players

• Phil Foden (for a teammate 63) Appeared sharp and linked up effectively with Kane in a preferred position, Six
• Saka (on for the winger 63) Failed to convert although his set-piece led to the opener, 6/10
• Marcus Rashford (replacing Bowen with 15 left) Active upon introduction assisting the captain's brace with superb cross into the area, 7/10
• Anderson (for Wharton 75) Seems settled at this level, 6/10
• Rogers (replacing the star with minutes remaining) Not enough time to make an impact, Six
