Throughout a impressive showing, the English national team secured one more victory against their opponents, featuring a number of squad members producing notable performances throughout the game.

Starting Eleven

The goalkeeper Had little to do to perform during the opening 45 but then forced to intervene by an opponent's curling effort. A sliding challenge against an Albanian attacker showed his anticipation. Six out of ten

Jarell Quansah Examined against Albania’s main danger through their forward. Started more centrally initially but moved to the flank once a teammate was introduced. 7/10

The defender Pushed forward with the ball at his feet, a familiar role in the past. Sometimes seemed hesitant when carrying play and the tactic abandoned at half-time. 6/10

Dan Burn A constant threat from dead balls, typically, perhaps is a replacement for Stones in defense instead of alongside him. A loose ball later in the match nearly resulted in a goal from the visitors. Six

Nico O’Reilly One more confident showing by the 20-year-old after his initial appearance versus Serbia. Saka did not capitalize on the most of a clever flick over their defense. The left-back spot is his to lose so soon. 7/10

The newcomer His maiden beginning for his country. Slightly sloppy in possession though his dangerous set-pieces were a threat. An effective tempo-setter available to the boss to have versus teams who drop deep. Cautioned for a rash foul. 6/10

The midfielder Crosses from dead balls and free-kicks were dangerous. Had license to move on the left but was in an offside position when the ball arrived with a chance to score. Given a well-earned substitution after an hour. 6/10

The star midfielder Functioned in an advanced role out wide while also did plenty of the hard yards. Displayed flashes of quality but scuffed an effort wide. Substituted in the closing stages for Rogers, his rival, following a yellow card. 7

The winger Had the team's clearest opportunity before halftime, his shot well saved from Thomas Strakosha. As a teammate holding position, it fell to him to stretch the play out wide yet his deliveries from wide areas were inconsistent. Replaced late in the match. 6/10

Harry Kane The decisive figure with his 77th and 78th goals at international level. His first a typical opportunist's goal and his next an excellent headed goal after peeling away from his marker. Aged 32, his form is unwavering and the side have every chance in the upcoming tournament when he's in the team. 8

Eberechi Eze Had difficulty to get into the game out wide. Was presented with a good opening when set up by Bellingham yet the keeper made the save. His replacement produced a bigger influence in his place. 5/10

Bench Players

• Foden (replacing Rice on 63 minutes) Appeared sharp and combined effectively with Kane in a natural spot, 6
• Bukayo Saka (on for the winger at the 63-minute mark) Failed to convert although his set-piece created the opener, 6/10
• Marcus Rashford (replacing the attacker with 15 left) Energetic upon introduction assisting Kane’s second via an excellent ball to the far post, 7
• Elliot Anderson (on for Wharton in the 75th minute) Looks established already, 6/10
• Morgan Rogers (for the star 84) Insufficient minutes to affect things, 6/10
