ENGLAND’S MATCH RATING

-

JOE HART

Wore cap to block sun in first half but the Man City outcast failed to do the same when beaten by Griffiths’ two late free-kicks.

KYLE WALKER

Rumours of a move to Man City but you wonder why on this showing. Average at best, careless in possession.

GARY CAHILL

Title-winning skipper seemed to have led the defence to another clean sheet – only for deadly Griffiths to wreck that statistic.

CHRIS SMALLING

Included despite an injury-hit season, the Man United defender was haphazard. Needs more composure at this level.

RYAN BERTRAND

No longer just an able deputy, the Saints star continues to improve. Rock-steady in defence, always an asset in attack.

MARCUS RASHFORD

The Manchester United teen put in a decent shift without seriously troubling Scottish defence. Replaced as he faded.

ADAM LALLANA

Liverpool playmaker dazzled – but in fits and starts. His superb first-half run and cross should have been buried by Kane.

ERIC DIER

In central holding role and was stretched by the Scots. Too busy defending to be a threat. Booked and misses next qualifier.

DELE ALLI

On wrong end of Scott Brown’s lunge – and struggled to influence the game as he does with Spurs. Often tried to be too clever.

JAKE LIVERMORE

West Brom midfielder shone brightly on his debut. Yellow card apart, he never put a foot wrong. Unlucky to hit post after break.

HARRY KANE

Skipper for the first time, the Golden Boot winner looked rusty as he missed two early sitters – then delivered vital late strike.
