England earned their spot at the global tournament with a comfortable win over their opponents on Tuesday night.

First Eleven Performance

• Jordan Pickford – Pulled off a couple of excellent saves in the latter period to extend his impressive clean sheet streak. It's now nine in a row. 6.5
• The defender – Has adapted to international football with ease. Tougher tests lie ahead, of course, but a positive start to his England career. 7
• Manchester City's centre-back – A pair of fixtures in less than a week will do the Manchester City defender a world of good. Remains one of the automatic picks on the team-sheet, fitness permitting. 7
• Ezri Konsa – Picked ahead of Marc Guehi and didn't put a foot wrong. Made an outstanding last-ditch recovery tackle in the later stages to boot. 7
• Myles Lewis-Skelly – Looked a somewhat ring rusty at times, understandable given his lack of action at his club. An promising few months ahead. 6
• Elliott Anderson – Appears essential in this England team at the moment. Seems suited to this level and has developed an productive partnership with Rice. 7
• Declan Rice – Excelling in his advanced midfield role. The backbone of England's midfield is displaying his attacking abilities now. Becoming a true all-round midfielder. 7
• Morgan Rogers – Quieter as he has been in England's victories over previous opponents. It will be revealed next month who is the rightful holder of the number 10 shirt. 6
• The winger – Provided an key pass to his brilliant goal against Wales last Thursday. Will be key to England's chances next summer. 7.5
• Harry Kane – Playing brilliantly. Took his tally for the season to 20 scores. Has scored 76 goals for his country. Is 100 possible 100? 8
• Newcastle's attacker – Precise finish to get the ball rolling for England here in away. Has done a good job during this international window. 7.5

The Bench Players

• The experienced midfielder (for Rice 60) – Maintained the tempo in midfield. 6
• The playmaker (for Rogers 60) – Excellently taken goal and a threat. 7
• Jarrod Bowen (for Saka 60) – Faces competition on his hands to make the squad when all are available. 6
• Newcastle's full-back (for Stones 71) – Typically, handled everything in the air. 6
• Manchester United's star (for Gordon 71) – One pacy run down the left caught the eye. 6

With a World Cup spot secured, the squad can now focus for the upcoming tournament with optimism.
