The Starting Lineup

• England's number one – Pulled off a couple of fine stops in the second half to preserve his remarkable clean sheet streak. It's now nine straight in a row. 6.5
• The defender – Has adapted to international football like a duck to water. Tougher tests await, of course, but a promising start to his England career. 7
• John Stones – Two games in a short span will do the Manchester City defender a great benefit. Remains one of the first names on the roster, fitness permitting. 7
• The centre-back – Picked ahead of the other option and was flawless. Executed an outstanding last-ditch recovery tackle in the later stages to boot. 7
• The young defender – Appeared a slightly off the pace at times, understandable given his limited game time at Arsenal. An promising few months ahead. 6
• Elliott Anderson – Looks irreplaceable in this England team at the moment. Looks tailored for this level and has formed an productive partnership with Rice. 7
• Arsenal's engine – Enjoying his number eight role. The backbone of England's midfield is displaying his attacking abilities now. Becoming a real all-round midfielder. 7
• The forward – Not as impactful as he has been in England's successes over other teams. The answer will come next month who is the true owner of the number 10 shirt. 6
• The winger – Contributed an setup to his excellent goal against Wales last Thursday. Will be key to England's chances next summer. 7.5
• Harry Kane – Playing brilliantly. Increased his count for the season to 20 scores. Has scored 76 occasions for his country. Can he reach 100? 8
• The forward – Precise finish to start things off for England here in away. Has performed admirably during this fixture period. 7.5

England Substitutes

• The experienced midfielder (for Rice 60) – Maintained the tempo in midfield. 6
• Eberechi Eze (for Rogers 60) – Superbly finished goal and a menace. 7
• Jarrod Bowen (for Saka 60) – Has a fight on his hands to be selected when everyone's fit. 6
• Newcastle's full-back (for Stones 71) – As you'd expect, dealt with everything with his height. 6
• Manchester United's star (for Gordon 71) – One pacy run down the left was noticeable. 6

With a World Cup spot secured, the team can now prepare for the World Cup with high hopes.
