Throughout a impressive showing, England wrapped up another victory versus their opponents, with a number of players turning in notable displays throughout the game.

Starting Lineup

Dean Henderson Not a save to make before the break before tested from an opponent's curled attempt. One well-timed sliding intervention against an Albanian attacker showed sharp anticipation. Six out of ten

Jarell Quansah Challenged against Albania’s main danger through their forward. Operated through the middle initially then shifted out wide after a teammate came on. 7/10

John Stones Pushed into midfield with the ball at his feet, as he has done in the past. On occasion was too casual when carrying play and the tactic discontinued at half-time. 6/10

The tall defender A nuisance on corners and free-kicks, as always, but may be a replacement for Stones in the backline as opposed to alongside him. A careless distribution in the second half came close to a goal from Albania. 6

The young full-back One more assured showing from the 20-year-old following his initial appearance versus Serbia. A teammate failed to make the opportunity from an exquisite touch over their defense. The role is his to lose so soon. 7/10

The newcomer His first start in an England shirt. A bit careless in possession though his inswinging set-pieces were a threat. An effective pace-controller for the manager to call upon versus defensive opponents. Booked after a reckless tackle. Six

The midfielder Set-pieces on corner kicks and free-kicks caused problems. Had license to move down the left flank but was in an offside position as the pass came in shooting positions. Given a merited break around the 60-minute point. 6

Jude Bellingham Functioned in a forward role out wide and also put in the hard yards. Displayed moments of class but scuffed an effort wide. Substituted in the closing stages for Rogers, his competition, after receiving a caution. 7

Jarrod Bowen Had the team's clearest opportunity before halftime, his strike well saved from Thomas Strakosha. With Quansah holding position, it fell to him to provide width on the right although his balls from the touchline were hit and miss. Replaced for the final quarter-hour. 6

The captain The decisive figure with his two more goals in an England shirt. His first a typical opportunist's goal while the second a superb headed goal following a clever run away from the opposition. Aged 32, he’s only getting better with the national team stand a real opportunity in future competitions with him up top. Eight

The attacker Had difficulty to get into the game on the left flank. Had a decent opportunity following a pass from a teammate however Strakosha kept it out. Rashford made much more of influence when substituted. 5/10

Bench Players

• Foden (for Rice 63) Was bright and combined seamlessly with the striker in a preferred position, 6/10
• Bukayo Saka (on for Eze 63) Missed opportunities yet his delivery provided the breakthrough, 6
• Marcus Rashford (for the attacker with 15 left) Energetic upon introduction and set up Kane’s second via an excellent ball into the area, Seven
• Elliot Anderson (on for the midfielder in the 75th minute) Seems settled at this level, 6/10
• Rogers (replacing Bellingham with minutes remaining) Not enough time to make an impact, 6/10
