PLAYER HIGHLIGHTS (ratings as reported by BBC Sport)
- Harry Kane 8: Scored twice and reached 125 caps.
- Jordan Pickford 6: Some shaky moments; the report says he will return to Everton knowing his place is under threat from James Trafford.
- Trent Alexander-Arnold 7: Given another opportunity and impressed; his on-ball ability suits deep-lying opponents.
- Jarell Quansah 6: Played in his favoured centre-back role and looked comfortable.
- Marc Guehi 6: Cruised through the game apart from a couple of lapses; he started all four of England's matches during the extended international break.
- Lewis Hall 7: A successful international period for the Newcastle defender; now competing with Nico O'Reilly for the left-back spot.
- Elliot Anderson 6: Grew into the game and produced a brilliant pass that unlocked England's second goal.
- Myles Lewis-Skelly 7: Made a positive return to the international scene.
- Eberechi Eze 6: Improved after an underwhelming first half but did not force a selection headache.
- Jude Bellingham 7: Did not match his display in Croatia but still showed class in possession.
- Morgan Rogers 7: Started on the right, looked comfortable and provided a real threat.
SUBSTITUTES
