During a impressive display, England clinched one more triumph versus their opponents, with several squad members turning in standout displays during the match.
The goalkeeper Had little to do to make in the first half but then tested by an opponent's bent shot. His sliding intervention against Qazim Laci showed sharp reading of the game. Six out of ten
Jarell Quansah Tested by Albania’s primary attacker through their forward. Operated through the middle to begin with but moved wider once Saka came on. 7/10
John Stones Moved into midfield on the ball, as he has done previously. Sometimes lacked urgency in possession and the tactic abandoned at half-time. 6
The tall defender A constant threat at set pieces, as always, perhaps is a replacement to his teammate at the back rather than his partner. A loose pass later in the match came close to a goal from Albania. 6
The young full-back A further composed performance from the rising star after his initial appearance against another side. Saka failed to make the opportunity from a clever touch behind the opposing backline. The role looks secure at this stage. 7
The newcomer His maiden beginning in an England shirt. Slightly loose when playing out however his dangerous corners posed a danger. A useful tempo-setter available to the manager to call upon versus defensive opponents. Cautioned for a poorly timed tackle. 6/10
The midfielder Deliveries on corner kicks and free-kicks caused problems. Was given room to move down the left flank but was offside when the ball arrived with a chance to score. Given a merited rest on the hour mark. Six
Jude Bellingham Played in an advanced position out wide and put in defensive duties. Demonstrated moments of class and scuffed an effort wide. Withdrawn in the closing stages for Rogers, his competition, following a yellow card. 7/10
The winger Was presented with England’s clearest opportunity of the first half, his strike excellently kept out from Thomas Strakosha. With a teammate holding position, he had to offer an outlet down the right side yet his deliveries from wide areas varied in quality. Substituted with 15 to go. 6/10
The captain The decisive figure netting seventy-seventh and seventy-eighth goals in an England shirt. His first a trademark opportunist's goal and his next an excellent header following a clever run away from the opposition. Aged 32, his form is unwavering and England are strong contenders in future competitions with him up top. Eight
The attacker Found it tough to influence play from the left. Had a good opening when set up by Bellingham however Strakosha kept it out. Rashford made much more of influence in his place. Five
