Throughout a commanding performance, England secured a further victory against their opponents, with multiple squad members producing notable displays throughout the game.

Starting Lineup

Dean Henderson Not a save required before the break but then called into action from an opponent's curling effort. A sliding challenge against an Albanian attacker demonstrated his anticipation. Six out of ten

Jarell Quansah Examined against the opposition's primary attacker in Hoxha. Started in a central role early on later drifted to the flank after Saka was introduced. 7/10

The defender Pushed into midfield on the ball, something he's known for previously. On occasion was too casual on the ball with the approach discontinued by the interval. 6/10

Dan Burn A nuisance on corners and free-kicks, per usual, could serve as a replacement for Stones in defense instead of paired with him. One wayward ball in the second half nearly resulted in an opener from Albania. 6/10

Nico O’Reilly Another confident performance by the youngster after his initial appearance against Serbia. Saka did not capitalize on the opportunity from a gorgeous touch over the opposing backline. His position looks secure so soon. Seven

The newcomer His maiden beginning in an England shirt. Slightly careless when playing out though his whipped deliveries were a threat. An effective pace-controller for the boss to call upon versus teams who drop deep. Booked after a reckless foul. Six

The midfielder Set-pieces from dead balls and set-plays created chances. Enjoyed room to move in left midfield yet found himself in an offside position as the pass came with a chance to score. Awarded a deserved rest on the hour mark. 6/10

The star midfielder Operated in a high role out wide and did plenty of dirty work. Demonstrated moments of class but dragged a shot over. Withdrawn late on for a teammate, a fellow player, after being booked. 7

The winger Had the team's clearest opportunity of the first half, his effort well saved from the opposing goalkeeper. With Quansah hanging back, it fell to him to stretch the play on the right although his balls from wide areas were inconsistent. Replaced for the final quarter-hour. 6/10

The captain The decisive figure netting seventy-seventh and seventy-eighth goals at international level. The first a typical close-range tap-in and the second an excellent header having drifted away away from the opposition. Now 32, his form is unwavering with the national team have every chance in the upcoming tournament with him leading the line. Eight

Eberechi Eze Had difficulty to make an impact on the left flank. Was presented with a good opening following a pass by Bellingham yet the keeper denied him. His replacement made much more of influence when substituted. 5

Bench Players

• Foden (replacing Rice on 63 minutes) Was bright and linked up seamlessly with Kane in a preferred position, 6
• Bukayo Saka (on for Eze 63) Missed opportunities but his corner provided the first goal, 6/10
• Marcus Rashford (for the attacker with 15 left) Energetic when brought on and provided the captain's brace with superb cross to the back post, 7
• Elliot Anderson (for the midfielder in the 75th minute) Seems settled already, 6/10
• Morgan Rogers (replacing Bellingham with minutes remaining) Insufficient minutes to influence the game, 6
