Dean Henderson Had little to do required before the break until called into action by an opponent's curling effort. A sliding tackle against Qazim Laci demonstrated sharp reading of the game. Six out of ten

Jarell Quansah Challenged against Albania’s main danger in Hoxha. Operated in a central role to begin with but moved out wide once Saka came on. Seven

The defender Advanced forward when in possession, as he has done previously. Sometimes lacked urgency when carrying play with the experiment was shelved after the break. 6/10

Dan Burn A nuisance on corners and free-kicks, typically, but may be an alternative for his teammate at the back as opposed to his partner. A loose distribution in the second half nearly resulted in an opener for Albania. 6

The young full-back A further composed performance from the youngster after his initial appearance versus Serbia. A teammate did not capitalize on the opportunity from a gorgeous touch behind their defense. The role looks secure at this stage. Seven

Adam Wharton His maiden beginning in an England shirt. A bit careless in possession however his whipped set-pieces were a threat. A handy tempo-setter for the coach to call upon versus defensive opponents. Cautioned for a rash foul. 6/10

The midfielder Deliveries from dead balls and set-plays caused problems. Enjoyed room to move in left midfield but was offside as the pass came in front of goal. Awarded a deserved rest after an hour. 6

Jude Bellingham Played in an advanced spot out wide and also put in dirty work. Displayed glimpses of brilliance and scuffed a shot wide. Substituted late on for Rogers, a fellow player, following a yellow card. Seven

The winger Had the team's clearest opportunity in the opening period, his strike smartly stopped by Thomas Strakosha. As a teammate holding position, he had to stretch the play out wide although his balls from the touchline were inconsistent. Taken off late in the match. 6

Harry Kane The difference-maker netting two more strikes for his country. The first a classic close-range tap-in and his next a superb header after peeling away away from the opposition. Now 32, he’s only getting better with the national team are strong contenders in future competitions when he's in the team. 8
