Jordan Pickford 7/10
ENGLAND RATINGS: Action came at the end of game. Panicked wondering whether to come out to stop a 116th-minute Swiss attack. Saved first penalty in shoot-out, not the second, almost got the third, went the wrong way on the fourth. PAENGLAND RATINGS: Action came at the end of game.

Kyle Walker 6/10
Played in a different formation and had more touches than any other player on his side, but still not showing authority he produces for club-side Manchester City. Lost his man for Switzerland’s goal.

Ezri Konsa 7/10
In for suspended Guehi and thus his first England competitive start. Went down at one point looking injured. Blocked well, cut crosses out. Came off as England reorganised having gone behind, but was their best defender. PAIn for suspended Guehi and thus his first England competitive start. Went down at one point looking injured.

John Stones 6/10
Touched cross towards goal which led to Switzerland’s taking lead through Embolo. Could he have done better? Otherwise sound. EPATouched cross towards goal which led to Switzerland’s taking lead through Embolo. Could he have done better? Otherwise sound. EPA -
Kieran Trippier 5/10
Left of a midfield four and easily beaten in an early attack that did not inspire confidence. England’s left looked the weak point once again until the multiple subs late on.

Kobbie Mainoo 7/10
Along with Saka, the best player in first half. Showed good defensive work to stop an early Swiss attack. Saw 15th-minute shot blocked. Strong, confident, let the ball run ahead of him and past opponents. Less influential in the second. AFPAlong with Saka, the best player in first half.

Bukayo Saka 8/10
England’s main threat as he attacked down the right hand side and went one on one against Aebischer four times. Equalised after 80 minutes by guiding a left foot strike in off the post.

Played as a ‘10’ as England played higher up the pitch than usual. Good early balls wide as he helped England control first half. Easy on ball and gave balance to team.

Yann Sommer 7/10
SWITZERLAND RATINGS: Neither goalkeeper faced shot in target in the opening 45 minutes. Literally no serious save to make until he was picking ball out of net when beaten by Saka’s superb finish in 80th minute. Great fingertip save from Rice strike. No saves in 5-3 shoot-out defeat.

Manuel Akanji 8/10
Man City defender is top quality. Times challenges perfectly, positioning brilliant and capable of carrying ball out of defence. Never gave Kane a kick.
