During a impressive display, England wrapped up a further triumph against Albania, with a number of players turning in standout performances during the match.

Starting Eleven

Dean Henderson Was rarely tested to make before the break before tested from an opponent's bent shot. One well-timed sliding challenge against an Albanian attacker showed excellent anticipation. 6/10

Jarell Quansah Challenged by the opposition's primary attacker in their forward. Played more centrally initially later drifted wider once Saka came on. 7

John Stones Moved up the pitch on the ball, as he has done before. At times seemed hesitant when carrying play with the approach discontinued at half-time. Six

Dan Burn A nuisance on corners and free-kicks, as always, perhaps is a replacement for Stones in the backline rather than alongside him. One wayward pass later in the match nearly resulted in the first goal for Albania. 6

Nico O’Reilly Another assured performance from the youngster following his initial appearance versus Serbia. Saka failed to make the opportunity from a gorgeous backheel over the opposing backline. The role looks secure so soon. 7/10

The newcomer His first start for his country. A bit careless when playing out though his whipped deliveries caused problems. An effective pace-controller available to the manager to have versus teams who drop deep. Shown a yellow for a rash foul. Six

Declan Rice Crosses from corners and set-plays caused problems. Was given room to drift in left midfield yet found himself offside when the ball arrived in front of goal. Awarded a deserved substitution after an hour. 6

Jude Bellingham Operated in a high role down the right and put in the hard yards. Showed moments of class and dragged an effort wide. Substituted in the closing stages by a teammate, his competition, after being booked. Seven

The winger Was presented with the team's clearest opportunity before halftime, his shot well saved from the opposing goalkeeper. With Quansah hanging back, it fell to him to stretch the play out wide although his balls from wide areas were inconsistent. Replaced for the final quarter-hour. 6

The captain The decisive figure scoring two more finishes for his country. His first a classic close-range tap-in and the second a classy headed goal following a clever run off his defender. Aged 32, he continues to improve with the national team stand a real opportunity in the upcoming tournament when he's in the team. 8

Eberechi Eze Found it tough to get into the game from the left. Was presented with a decent opportunity after being played in by the midfielder yet Strakosha denied him. Rashford produced a bigger influence after coming on. 5/10

Bench Players

• Foden (for Rice on 63 minutes) Looked lively connecting effectively with Kane in a natural spot, Six
• Saka (on for the winger at the 63-minute mark) Missed opportunities but his corner created the first goal, 6/10
• Marcus Rashford (replacing the attacker 75) Energetic when brought on assisting Kane’s second via an excellent ball to the back post, 7
• Anderson (on for the midfielder 75) Appears comfortable so soon, 6
• Rogers (replacing Bellingham with minutes remaining) Insufficient minutes to affect things, 6/10
