During a impressive showing, England wrapped up a further triumph against their opponents, with several squad members producing notable displays throughout the game.

First-choice Eleven

Dean Henderson Had little to do to make before the break until tested by Arbër Hoxha’s curling effort. A sliding intervention on an Albanian attacker highlighted sharp game intelligence. Six out of ten

Jarell Quansah Examined against Albania’s primary attacker in Hoxha. Started through the middle to begin with but moved out wide once a teammate entered the fray. Seven

The defender Pushed forward when in possession, something he's known for previously. At times seemed hesitant on the ball with the experiment was shelved at half-time. 6

The tall defender A constant threat at set pieces, typically, could serve as a replacement to his teammate in the backline as opposed to his partner. One wayward pass after the break came close to an opener for Albania. 6

Nico O’Reilly One more composed showing from the rising star following his debut against another side. Saka did not capitalize on the opportunity from an exquisite flick over the opposing backline. The left-back spot is firmly his already. Seven

The newcomer His maiden beginning for his country. Somewhat sloppy on the ball but his dangerous set-pieces posed a danger. A handy tempo-setter available to the boss to call upon versus sides that sit back. Booked for a rash tackle. Six

The midfielder Deliveries from corners and free-kicks caused problems. Enjoyed room to roam on the left but was offside as the pass came in front of goal. Given a merited substitution around the 60-minute point. Six

The star midfielder Operated in a forward position down the right and contributed with the hard yards. Displayed glimpses of brilliance and mishit a shot high. Substituted in the closing stages by Rogers, his rival, after being booked. 7

The winger Was presented with the team's clearest opportunity before halftime, his strike well saved by Thomas Strakosha. As Quansah holding position, he had to provide width down the right side although his balls into the box were hit and miss. Taken off late in the match. Six

The captain The difference-maker netting two more finishes for his country. His first a classic close-range tap-in while the second an excellent header following a clever run from his marker. Aged 32, he’s only getting better with the national team have every chance in future competitions with him leading the line. 8

The attacker Had difficulty to influence play from the left. Was presented with a good opening following a pass from a teammate yet the keeper kept it out. His replacement produced a bigger influence after coming on. 5
