PLAYER RATINGS

SAMI MOKBEL AT WEMBLEY STADIUM

NICK POPE 6 Had just three touches of the ball in the first half such was England’s dominance. Albania and Poland will be tougher.

REECE JAMES 7.5 Produced some beautiful crosses into the box from the right flank. So comfortable on this stage.

CONOR COADY 7 Had very little defending to do but that didn’t prevent the Wolves defender from being the loudest on the pitch.

JOHN STONES 7 A comfortable return to international football for the central defender. Bigger tests are on the horizon.

BEN CHILWELL 8 Plenty of joy down England’s left. Set up the opener and continued to create chances for his team.

JAMES WARD-PROWSE 7.5 A day the Southampton skipper will never forget, scoring his first international goal with aplomb.

MASON MOUNT 7.5 Tantamount to a training exercise for the midfielder. Fully involved as England laid siege to San Marino’s goal.

KALVIN PHILLIPS 7 The most defensively minded of England’s midfield. Tidied up effectively when it was necessary.

JESSE LINGARD 8.5 A constant threat on his return for England. Looks to be thoroughly enjoying his football at the moment.

RAHEEM STERLING 7 Captained the team and terrified San Marino with his incisiveness — and got on the scoresheet for good measure.

DOMINIC CALVERT-LEWIN 8 Squandered a couple of early chances but still managed to notch a brace to take his England tally to four.

SUBSTITUTES Trippier 6.5 (for James 46min), Mings 6.5 n (for Stones 46), Bellingham 7 (for Mount 46), Foden 7 (for Sterling 46), Watkins 7 (for Calvert-Lewin 63).

GARETH SOUTHGATE 7 Not much to read into this victory but job done for the England manager. On to Albania on Sunday.

SAN MARINO (4-4-2): Benedettini 8; Battisini 5, Brolli 5, Rossi 5, Grandoni 5 (Ceccaroli 55, 5); Hirsch 5 (Mularoni 55, 5), Lunadei 5 (Giardiat 79), Golinucci 5 (Battisini 71), Palazzi 5; Berardi 5 (D’Addario 79), Nanni 5.

REF KIRILL LEVNIKOV 6 A quiet night for the Russian official as England took the sting out of the game.
