Throughout a impressive showing, England wrapped up one more triumph against their opponents, with a number of squad members delivering standout displays during the match.

Starting Eleven

Dean Henderson Was rarely tested to perform during the opening 45 before forced to intervene from an opponent's bent shot. One well-timed sliding tackle against Qazim Laci demonstrated his game intelligence. Six out of ten

Jarell Quansah Examined against Albania’s primary attacker through Hoxha. Operated through the middle to begin with then shifted to the flank after a teammate was introduced. 7/10

John Stones Pushed forward with the ball at his feet, something he's known for in the past. On occasion lacked urgency when carrying play and the tactic was shelved after the break. Six

The tall defender A nuisance from dead balls, typically, perhaps is an alternative for his teammate in the backline rather than alongside him. A loose ball in the second half came close to the first goal for Albania. 6/10

Nico O’Reilly One more confident display by the 20-year-old after his initial appearance against Serbia. A teammate did not capitalize on the most of an exquisite flick behind their defense. His position looks secure so soon. 7

The newcomer His first start with the national team. Somewhat sloppy in possession though his inswinging set-pieces were a threat. A handy pace-controller available to the boss to utilize versus sides that sit back. Cautioned for a rash tackle. 6

Declan Rice Set-pieces from corners and free kicks caused problems. Was given license to move in left midfield only to be in an offside position when the ball arrived with a chance to score. Granted a deserved substitution on the hour mark. Six

The star midfielder Played in a high role on the right and also contributed with dirty work. Demonstrated moments of class and mishit an effort over. Withdrawn in the closing stages for a teammate, a fellow player, after receiving a caution. Seven

Jarrod Bowen Was presented with England’s clearest opportunity of the first half, his shot smartly stopped by the Albanian keeper. As Quansah staying deep, he had to provide width on the right but his crosses from wide areas were inconsistent. Substituted with 15 to go. 6

The captain The difference-maker scoring seventy-seventh and seventy-eighth strikes in an England shirt. The first a typical opportunist's goal and the second a classy finish with his head after peeling away from his marker. At 32, he continues to improve and the side stand a real opportunity in future competitions with him leading the line. Eight

The attacker Struggled to influence play from the left. Was presented with a good opening when set up by Bellingham yet the keeper made the save. Rashford had a greater an impact in his place. Five

Substitutes

• Foden (replacing a teammate 63) Looked lively and combined effectively with Kane in a natural spot, 6/10
• Saka (for the winger at the 63-minute mark) Failed to convert but his corner created the first goal, 6/10
• Rashford (replacing Bowen with 15 left) Active when brought on and provided Kane’s second with a brilliant delivery into the area, 7
• Anderson (on for the midfielder 75) Seems settled so soon, 6
• Morgan Rogers (for the star 84) Too brief a spell to influence the game, 6
