Conor Coady 8, Harry Kane 6, Jadon Sancho 4: England player ratings against Denmark

After troubled few days for Southgate's side, they are held to a goalless draw in Copenhagen

• 

  ENGLAND RATINGS: Jordan Pickford - 7: Not hugely troubled. One decent stop at his near post from a fierce Kasper Dolberg drive. Shots at his goal generally flew high or wide. Will have been relieved to see Christian Eriksen blaze over with superb second-half chance.Getty

• 

  Trent Alexander-Arnold - 6: Right wing-back was England's best attacking option in the first half, which isn't saying much. Found a bit of space and produced a couple of decent crosses. The new PFA Young Player of the Year tired as the match wore on. PA

• 

  Joe Gomez - 7: Solid from the Liverpool player and did well alongside debutant Coady. Getty

• 

  Conor Coady - 8: Wolves defender certainly not short of confidence on his debut. Vocal, some decent balls out of defence. One excellent challenge to win ball then backheel to a teammate in first half. Good performance. PA

• 

  Eric Dier - 5: Troubled a few times in first half. First, turned inside out by Dolberg who drove over the bar. Then former Spurs teammate Eriksen skipped past him all too easily before supplying Dolberg with another chance. Reuters

• 

  Kieran Trippier - 5: A right footer playing at left-wing back. And it showed. Too often looking backwards rather than forwards with the pass. One decent cross to set up Kane chance in second half. Getty

• 

  Kalvin Phillips - 5: Used to playing as lone deep-lying midfielder for Leeds, struggled alongside Rice. Barcelona attacker Martin Braithwaite skipped past him very easily before firing in shot in opening half. Showed good persistence and decent pass to send Kane on second-half run. Replaced with 15 minutes to go. Getty

• 

  Declan Rice - 5: Having two defensively-minded players in centre-midfield hindered England and they lacked creativity having Rice and Phillips together. AFP

• 

  Jadon Sancho - 4: No hint of his sparkling Borussia Dortmund form here. Made no impact, like the rest of his teammates, and was hooked before the hour mark. Reuters

• 

  Raheem Sterling - 6: Always lively, trying to make things happen. Certainly looked more likely to do so than most of his teammates. Forced comfortable save from Kasper Schmeichel with his first shot on goal after 70 minutes. PA

• 

  Harry Kane - 6: Barely touched the ball in the first half when England offered no attacking threat due to their ponderous midfield. Fired first chance early in second half straight at Schmeichel but was well offside anyway. Second opportunity blocked by teammate Sterling. Third chance he headed Trippier cross just over. Unlucky to see fourth and final shot cleared off line. Getty

• 

  SUBS; Mason Mount - (On for Sancho 60') 6: Chelsea player at least offered a bit more drive from midfield. Reuters

• 

  Jack Grealish - (on for Phillips 76') 6: As soon as he came on, showed he wasn't afraid to try and beat his man. Should have been on earlier. Getty

• 

  Ainsley Maitland-Niles - (On for Alexander-Arnold 87') NA: Another to make his debut. Albeit for a few minutes. PA

Denmark held England to a 0-0 draw in a disappointing Nations League match at the Parken Stadium on Tuesday.

The hosts had the best chances in the League A Group 2 match with midfielder Christian Eriksen involved on both occasions.

Eriksen's clever turn in the 37th minute left his former Tottenham Hotspur teammate Eric Dier standing and set up Kasper Dolberg whose fierce shot to the near post was pushed wide by England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.

Denmark keeper Kasper Schmeichel was also alert to deal with a Raheem Sterling shot from the edge of the box before Eriksen wasted a great chance in the 81st minute, firing over from a promising central position.

Simon Kjaer should have done better for Denmark with a free header in stoppage time while at the other end England captain Harry Kane rounded Schmeichel only to see his goal-bound effort cleared off the line by Mathias Jorgensen.

Wolverhampton Wanderers captain Conor Coady enjoyed an excellent England debut, while Leeds United's Kalvin Phillips had a quiet introduction. Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish finally got his long-awaited bow with 14 minutes left.

Arsenal's Ainsley Maitland-Niles became England's fourth debutant in the final minutes.

Belgium lead the group with six points from two games with England on four, Denmark one and Iceland none.
