In a impressive display, England secured a further triumph against their opponents, featuring several squad members turning in memorable displays on the pitch.

Starting Lineup

Dean Henderson Had little to do to perform in the first half but then called into action by an opponent's curled attempt. A sliding challenge against an Albanian attacker highlighted his game intelligence. 6/10

The debutant Examined against Albania’s primary attacker through Hoxha. Operated more centrally initially later drifted out wide once a teammate came on. 7

The defender Pushed forward with the ball at his feet, a familiar role in the past. Sometimes was too casual on the ball with the tactic was shelved by the interval. 6/10

Dan Burn A nuisance from dead balls, typically, could serve as an alternative to his teammate at the back as opposed to paired with him. One wayward distribution after the break came close to the first goal for the visitors. 6/10

Nico O’Reilly One more composed display by the rising star following his first cap versus another side. A teammate was unable to take full advantage of a clever flick behind the opposing backline. The role is firmly his at this stage. Seven

Adam Wharton His first start for his country. A bit sloppy in possession but his whipped deliveries posed a danger. A useful pace-controller available to the coach to utilize versus teams who drop deep. Cautioned for a poorly timed foul. 6/10

The midfielder Deliveries from corners and free kicks were dangerous. Enjoyed freedom to move down the left flank only to be in an offside position when the ball arrived in front of goal. Granted a well-earned break on the hour mark. Six

The star midfielder Played in a high position on the right and put in the hard yards. Showed flashes of quality and mishit an effort over. Replaced in the closing stages by Rogers, a fellow player, after receiving a caution. 7/10

The winger Was presented with the team's clearest opportunity in the opening period, his strike excellently kept out from Thomas Strakosha. As a teammate holding position, it fell to him to stretch the play on the right but his crosses from the touchline varied in quality. Replaced with 15 to go. 6

The captain The match-winner scoring 77th and 78th finishes in an England shirt. The opener a classic poacher’s finish and his next an excellent header after peeling away from his marker. Aged 32, his form is unwavering and England are strong contenders next summer with him up top. 8/10

Eberechi Eze Struggled to get into the game from the left. Was presented with a presentable chance after being played in from a teammate yet the keeper denied him. Rashford had a greater influence in his place. Five

Substitutes

• Foden (replacing a teammate 63) Appeared sharp connecting well with Kane in a natural spot, 6
• Saka (on for Eze 63) Failed to convert yet his delivery provided the opener, 6/10
• Rashford (for the attacker with 15 left) Energetic when brought on assisting Kane’s second with a brilliant delivery to the back post, 7/10
• Elliot Anderson (on for the midfielder 75) Looks established at this level, 6
• Morgan Rogers (for Bellingham with minutes remaining) Not enough time to make an impact, 6/10
