In a impressive showing, England wrapped up one more win against Albania, with a number of squad members producing standout displays on the pitch.

First-choice Eleven

The goalkeeper Had little to do to make before the break until tested from an opponent's curled attempt. His sliding tackle against an Albanian attacker highlighted sharp game intelligence. 6/10

Jarell Quansah Examined by the opposition's primary attacker in their forward. Played in a central role to begin with later drifted wider once a teammate was introduced. Seven

The defender Advanced into midfield when in possession, something he's known for before. Sometimes seemed hesitant on the ball with the approach abandoned after the break. 6

Dan Burn A constant threat on corners and free-kicks, per usual, but may be another option for his teammate at the back instead of his partner. A loose ball after the break almost led to the first goal for Albania. 6

Nico O’Reilly One more assured display by the rising star following his initial appearance versus Serbia. A teammate failed to make the opportunity from a clever touch over the opposing backline. His position looks secure so soon. Seven

Adam Wharton His first start for his country. Somewhat careless on the ball but his whipped corners caused problems. An effective tempo-setter available to the boss to utilize versus sides that sit back. Shown a yellow for a poorly timed tackle. Six

The midfielder Crosses from dead balls and set-plays were dangerous. Was given license to move in left midfield only to be in an offside position upon receiving in front of goal. Granted a deserved substitution after an hour. Six

Jude Bellingham Played in a high spot down the right while also put in dirty work. Displayed moments of class but mishit a shot high. Withdrawn late on for Rogers, his rival, after being booked. Seven

Jarrod Bowen Had the team's clearest opportunity in the opening period, his effort excellently kept out from the opposing goalkeeper. With a teammate holding position, it fell to him to offer an outlet on the right but his crosses into the box were inconsistent. Substituted with 15 to go. Six

The captain The decisive figure scoring 77th and 78th strikes at international level. His first a typical poacher’s finish and the second an excellent finish with his head after peeling away from his marker. Now 32, he’s only getting better and England stand a real opportunity next summer when he's in the team. Eight

The attacker Found it tough to influence play from the left. Had a decent opportunity following a pass by Bellingham however the keeper kept it out. His replacement had a greater an impact when substituted. 5/10

Substitutes

• Phil Foden (replacing a teammate on 63 minutes) Was bright and linked up well with Kane in more familiar role, 6/10
• Saka (on for Eze at the 63-minute mark) Failed to convert but his corner provided the breakthrough, Six
• Marcus Rashford (replacing the attacker 75) Lively when brought on and provided Kane’s second via an excellent ball into the area, 7
• Anderson (on for the midfielder 75) Seems settled so soon, 6
• Morgan Rogers (replacing the star with minutes remaining) Too brief a spell to make an impact, Six
