During a dominant performance, England wrapped up a further triumph against their opponents, featuring a number of players producing memorable displays during the match.

First-choice Eleven

Dean Henderson Was rarely tested to make during the opening 45 until forced to intervene by Arbër Hoxha’s curled attempt. A sliding tackle against Qazim Laci showed sharp anticipation. 6/10

Jarell Quansah Challenged against the opposition's biggest threat through Hoxha. Played in a central role to begin with but moved out wide after a teammate came on. 7/10

John Stones Pushed forward on the ball, something he's known for in the past. At times seemed hesitant when carrying play with the experiment abandoned by the interval. 6/10

Dan Burn A constant threat at set pieces, as always, perhaps is another option for his teammate in the backline as opposed to alongside him. A careless pass in the second half came close to a goal for Albania. 6/10

The young full-back One more assured display from the youngster after his first cap against another side. Saka was unable to take the most of a gorgeous touch over the Albania defence. The role is his to lose at this stage. 7

Adam Wharton A debut start for his country. Somewhat careless when playing out however his inswinging deliveries caused problems. An effective game manager available to the manager to have versus defensive opponents. Booked for a rash tackle. 6/10

The midfielder Set-pieces on corner kicks and free kicks caused problems. Was given freedom to roam on the left only to be offside as the pass came with a chance to score. Awarded a well-earned break around the 60-minute point. 6/10

The star midfielder Operated in a forward spot out wide and put in the hard yards. Displayed flashes of quality and scuffed an effort wide. Substituted towards the end by Rogers, a fellow player, following a yellow card. Seven

The winger Was presented with England’s best chance of the first half, his effort well saved by the opposing goalkeeper. As Quansah hanging back, he had to provide width down the right side although his balls into the box were hit and miss. Replaced with 15 to go. 6/10

The captain The match-winner netting seventy-seventh and seventy-eighth strikes for his country. The opener a classic opportunist's goal and his next an excellent headed goal after peeling away away from the opposition. At 32, he’s only getting better with the national team are strong contenders next summer with him leading the line. 8

The attacker Had difficulty to make an impact out wide. Was presented with a presentable chance following a pass from a teammate however Strakosha made the save. His replacement had a greater effect in his place. Five
