Ainsley Maitland-Niles, N/A – Looked calm and composed. Didn’t really put a foot wrong and adds further cover to an ever-crowded right side.

ENGLAND RATINGS: Jordan Pickford, 5 – Paid tribute to Ray Clemence before kick-off when he placed behind his goal a yellow top with ‘Clemence 1’ on the back. Was untested throughout the game. EPA

Kieran Trippier, 4 -Probably the quietest of England’s players and saw very little of the ball. Defended well when he had to, but didn’t look comfortable in the wing-back role.

Kyle Walker, 6 – Was booked early on for an aggressive challenge on Sigurjonsson and gave away too many free-kicks. The Walker-Trippier axis on the right didn’t work.

Harry Maguire, 7 – Solid in the tackle, he displayed some expansive passing and even found himself getting forward throughout the game.

Eric Dier. 6 – England’s anchor. Had little to do in the first half but was alert to dangers in the second.

Bukayo Saka, 7 – Didn’t have much defending to do and so relished the chance to get into the final third. Always dangerous, and always finding penetrative positions around the opposition area.

Declan Rice, 7 – Solid performance at the base of the midfield and got forward to deftly head home Phil Foden’s free kick to open the scoring, and his account in an England shirt.

Phil Foden, 9 – So comfortable and always looking to get the ball forward. He came close to scoring in the first half but made no mistake in the second, first converting Sancho’s pass and then threading the ball home from distance. EPA
