In a dominant display, England wrapped up another win against their opponents, with a number of players delivering standout displays throughout the game.

Starting Lineup

Dean Henderson Was rarely tested to perform in the first half before called into action from an opponent's curled attempt. His sliding challenge against Qazim Laci highlighted his game intelligence. Six out of ten

Jarell Quansah Examined against the opposition's main danger in their forward. Operated in a central role initially but moved wider after a teammate was introduced. Seven

John Stones Moved into midfield on the ball, as he has done in the past. Sometimes seemed hesitant on the ball and the experiment discontinued by the interval. 6

The tall defender A nuisance on corners and free-kicks, as always, perhaps is a replacement to Stones in defense as opposed to alongside him. A careless ball in the second half almost led to an opener for Albania. 6

Nico O’Reilly Another assured showing from the rising star following his initial appearance versus Serbia. Saka was unable to take the most of a gorgeous backheel over the opposing backline. His position is firmly his at this stage. 7/10

Adam Wharton His first start in an England shirt. Slightly sloppy when playing out however his inswinging deliveries were a threat. A handy tempo-setter available to the boss to utilize against teams who drop deep. Booked for a poorly timed challenge. 6/10

The midfielder Crosses from corners and set-plays were dangerous. Was given freedom to move on the left yet found himself in an offside position when the ball arrived in front of goal. Granted a merited rest on the hour mark. 6/10

The star midfielder Played in a forward role on the right while also did plenty of the hard yards. Demonstrated flashes of quality and mishit a shot over. Replaced in the closing stages by a teammate, a fellow player, following a yellow card. Seven

Jarrod Bowen Was presented with the team's best chance before halftime, his shot well saved from Thomas Strakosha. As a teammate staying deep, he was forced to provide width out wide yet his deliveries from wide areas were hit and miss. Replaced for the final quarter-hour. Six

Harry Kane The decisive figure netting seventy-seventh and seventy-eighth strikes in an England shirt. His first a classic close-range tap-in and his next a classy headed goal following a clever run off his defender. Aged 32, he continues to improve with the national team are strong contenders in future competitions when he's in the team. 8/10

The attacker Found it tough to make an impact on the left flank. Had a good opening after being played in from a teammate yet Strakosha kept it out. His replacement produced a bigger influence in his place. 5/10
