Throughout a impressive showing, England secured one more triumph versus their opponents, with several squad members delivering notable displays during the match.

Starting Eleven

The goalkeeper Not a save to perform before the break until forced to intervene by an opponent's bent shot. His sliding tackle against Qazim Laci showed sharp reading of the game. 6/10

Jarell Quansah Examined against the opposition's biggest threat in their forward. Started through the middle to begin with then shifted to the flank once a teammate entered the fray. Seven

John Stones Advanced up the pitch when in possession, something he's known for before. Sometimes seemed hesitant when carrying play with the tactic was shelved after the break. 6/10

Dan Burn A constant threat from dead balls, per usual, but may be an alternative for his teammate in the backline rather than his partner. A careless distribution in the second half nearly resulted in the first goal from the visitors. 6/10

The young full-back One more assured showing by the rising star after his debut versus another side. A teammate did not capitalize on the opportunity from a gorgeous backheel over the Albania defence. His position is firmly his at this stage. 7

Adam Wharton His first start in an England shirt. Somewhat careless on the ball though his inswinging set-pieces were a threat. An effective pace-controller available to the coach to have against teams who drop deep. Shown a yellow after a reckless tackle. Six

Declan Rice Crosses on corner kicks and free-kicks were dangerous. Was given license to drift on the left but was in an offside position upon receiving in front of goal. Granted a merited rest after an hour. 6/10

Jude Bellingham Functioned in a high position on the right and contributed with defensive duties. Showed moments of class but scuffed an effort over. Withdrawn late on for Rogers, his competition, after being booked. Seven

The winger Had the team's best chance before halftime, his strike well saved from the opposing goalkeeper. With Quansah hanging back, it fell to him to offer an outlet on the right yet his deliveries into the box were inconsistent. Taken off late in the match. 6

The captain The decisive figure with his two more goals in an England shirt. The first a typical opportunist's goal and the second an excellent header having drifted away from his marker. Aged 32, his form is unwavering with the national team stand a real opportunity in the upcoming tournament with him leading the line. 8/10

The attacker Found it tough to influence play from the left. Had a good opening after being played in by the midfielder however Strakosha denied him. Rashford made much more of an impact when substituted. 5

Bench Players

• Phil Foden (replacing Rice on 63 minutes) Was bright and linked up well with the striker in a preferred position, 6
• Bukayo Saka (on for the winger at the 63-minute mark) Failed to convert yet his delivery created the first goal, 6
• Rashford (replacing the attacker 75) Lively when brought on assisting Kane’s second via an excellent ball to the far post, 7/10
• Elliot Anderson (on for Wharton 75) Looks established at this level, 6/10
• Morgan Rogers (for Bellingham with minutes remaining) Insufficient minutes to affect things, Six
