In a commanding performance, England wrapped up another win versus Albania, with multiple players producing memorable displays on the pitch.

Starting Eleven

Dean Henderson Not a save to make in the first half before tested from an opponent's curling effort. His sliding intervention on an Albanian attacker demonstrated sharp reading of the game. Six out of ten

Jarell Quansah Tested by the opposition's biggest threat in their forward. Operated through the middle to begin with later drifted out wide once Saka came on. Seven

John Stones Pushed up the pitch on the ball, a familiar role previously. On occasion lacked urgency when carrying play with the tactic discontinued at half-time. 6

Dan Burn A constant threat on corners and free-kicks, as always, could serve as an alternative to his teammate at the back instead of alongside him. A careless distribution later in the match nearly resulted in a goal from the visitors. 6/10

The young full-back A further composed display from the 20-year-old following his initial appearance versus Serbia. Saka was unable to take the most of a gorgeous touch behind the opposing backline. The role is firmly his so soon. Seven

The newcomer A debut start for his country. Somewhat careless in possession though his whipped set-pieces were a threat. An effective pace-controller for the coach to have against sides that sit back. Cautioned for a rash challenge. Six

Declan Rice Set-pieces on corner kicks and free-kicks were dangerous. Was given license to drift down the left flank but was offside as the pass came in front of goal. Given a merited break after an hour. 6

Jude Bellingham Functioned in a high role down the right while also did plenty of defensive duties. Showed flashes of quality and scuffed an attempt over. Withdrawn in the closing stages by Rogers, his competition, following a yellow card. Seven

The winger Was presented with the team's top opening before halftime, his strike smartly stopped by the opposing goalkeeper. With a teammate holding position, he was forced to offer an outlet on the right yet his deliveries from wide areas were inconsistent. Substituted with 15 to go. Six

Harry Kane The difference-maker with his 77th and 78th strikes in an England shirt. The first a trademark close-range tap-in and his next an excellent header after peeling away from his marker. At 32, he continues to improve with the national team have every chance next summer when he's in the team. 8

The attacker Struggled to get into the game on the left flank. Had a decent opportunity after being played in from a teammate yet the keeper kept it out. His replacement had a greater an impact after coming on. 5/10

Bench Players

• Foden (replacing Rice 63) Looked lively and linked up seamlessly with Kane in a natural spot, Six
• Saka (for Eze at the 63-minute mark) Missed opportunities although his set-piece provided the breakthrough, Six
• Marcus Rashford (replacing the attacker 75) Energetic after coming on assisting the second goal via an excellent ball to the back post, Seven
• Anderson (for the midfielder 75) Seems settled at this level, 6
• Rogers (for Bellingham 84) Insufficient minutes to influence the game, Six
