Player Evaluations: The Three Lions Triumph Sealed by Harry Kane's Brace in International Qualifying Match

In a impressive display, England secured another triumph versus their opponents, featuring several players producing standout displays on the pitch.

Starting Lineup

The goalkeeper Not a save to make during the opening 45 before tested from Arbër Hoxha’s bent shot. One well-timed sliding intervention against Qazim Laci demonstrated his anticipation. Six out of ten

Jarell Quansah Tested by the opposition's primary attacker through their forward. Started more centrally initially then shifted to the flank after a teammate was introduced. Seven

The defender Advanced forward with the ball at his feet, as he has done before. Sometimes seemed hesitant when carrying play with the approach was shelved at half-time. Six

The tall defender A constant threat on corners and free-kicks, as always, but may be a replacement to Stones at the back as opposed to alongside him. A careless pass in the second half nearly resulted in a goal for the visitors. 6/10

The young full-back A further assured showing from the rising star after his initial appearance versus Serbia. Saka was unable to take full advantage of a clever backheel behind the opposing backline. The role is his to lose already. 7/10

Adam Wharton His maiden beginning for his country. A bit sloppy on the ball but his dangerous set-pieces caused problems. A handy tempo-setter for the coach to utilize versus defensive opponents. Booked for a rash tackle. 6

Declan Rice Set-pieces from corners and free kicks were dangerous. Was given room to move down the left flank but was offside upon receiving with a chance to score. Awarded a merited rest on the hour mark. Six

The star midfielder Operated in a forward position on the right and also did plenty of the hard yards. Displayed glimpses of brilliance but dragged an effort high. Substituted towards the end for Rogers, his rival, following a yellow card. Seven

Jarrod Bowen Had the team's best chance in the opening period, his shot excellently kept out by the opposing goalkeeper. As a teammate holding position, he had to provide width out wide yet his deliveries into the box were hit and miss. Substituted with 15 to go. 6

The captain The match-winner with his 77th and 78th strikes in an England shirt. The opener a classic close-range tap-in and the second an excellent header following a clever run off his defender. Aged 32, he continues to improve with the national team have every chance in the upcoming tournament with him up top. 8/10

Eberechi Eze Struggled to get into the game from the left. Was presented with a good opening after being played in by the midfielder however the keeper made the save. Rashford made much more of effect in his place. Five

Replacements

• Foden (for Rice 63) Looked lively connecting seamlessly with the striker in more familiar role, Six
• Bukayo Saka (on for the winger at the 63-minute mark) Failed to convert although his set-piece created the breakthrough, 6/10
• Rashford (for the attacker 75) Lively when brought on and provided the captain's brace with superb cross to the far post, Seven
• Elliot Anderson (for Wharton 75) Seems settled at this level, Six
• Morgan Rogers (for the star with minutes remaining) Insufficient minutes to affect things, 6/10
