PICKFORD

Will be unhappy not to have kept a clean sheet but made a fine late stop before conceding a second from the spot.

TRIPPIER 7

7 Delivery into the box first rate as always and it was backed up with solid defending at the other end of the pitch.

STONES

7 A comfortable night . Partnership at this level with Harry Maguire has been developed over some time.

MAGUIRE

8 Unlucky to hit the crossbar with a header but set up Saka’s strike and looked something close to his tournament best.

SHAW

7 Fine cross for the opener and also involved in England’s fifth as he operated on the left of a back four.

BELLINGHAM

9 Became England’s second youngest World Cup scorer with opener, which capped a man-ofthe-match display.

RICE

Has spoken about his job being to win the ball and give it to Jude Bellingham. If the pair stay fit it will be great news for England.

SAKA

9 Banished the ghosts of his Euro 2020 penalty miss with a brace, including a brilliant volley to double the lead.

MOUNT

A quietly impressive performance and he sneaked under the radar given those around him.

STERLING 7

8

8 Loves the biggest stages with England and belied his recent form with a fine performance and his 20th international goal.

8 Would have wanted to get among the goals but played the team game and provided two assists before being replaced.

KANE

SUBS DIER 6 Replaced Maguire after he was forced off through injury; RASHFORD 7 Needed just seconds to score in first game since Euros final; FODEN 6 Arguably unlucky to miss out on a start; GREALISH 7 Wrapped up the win with a late sixth; WILSON 7 unselfish pass for Grealish to score.
