HOW ENGLAND RATED V HOLLAND
Jordan Pickford: Holland’s reticence left the ex-Sunderland keeper with fewer chances to catch the eye than his previous outing against Germany, but he chalked off a second clean sheet and did nothing to harm his chances of winning the battle for the number one shirt. 7/10
Kieran Trippier: The Tottenham man bustled up and down the right, ensuring opposite number Patrick van Aanholt was never able to express himself. Some promising crosses. 7
Kyle Walker: Handed a new role on the right of a defensive three and turned in a typically assured performance. Still raced forward when space presented itself and knuckled down to the nittygritty without fuss. 7
John Stones: Not an automatic first choice at Manchester City but looks increasingly certain to take a key role in Russia. A willing first receiver and dealt comfortably with Bas Dost. 7
Joe Gomez: Had another chance to impress after his man-of-the-match show against Brazil but lasted just a few minutes before injury intervened. N/A
Danny Rose: Floored by a heavy challenge in the opening seconds and seemed to lack his usual vivacity throughout. Careless in possession on occasion but his deflected cross contributed to the goal. 6
Jordan Henderson: Stationed as the midfield shield, a more defensive job than usual, the Sunderland-born captain enjoyed a measured display and showed a good passing range. 7
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain: May not have started had Jack Wilshere been fit and, barring an occasional neat pass, failed to recreate his bright central displays for Liverpool. 5
Jesse Lingard: Swept home his first international goal when opportunity knocked from the edge of the area. Some bright touches and did more than enough to justify Gareth Southgate’s obvious trust. 7 Raheem Sterling: Often criticised for lacking energy on England duty, Sterling could not be faulted for his drive here. He probed for gaps, passed crisply and kept Holland on their toes. 7
Marcus Rashford: The Manchester United man clearly has a bright future but there is no hiding the fact he represents a major downgrade on Harry Kane up front. 6 Substitutes: Harry Maguire (for Gomez): Unexpectedly summoned from the bench and produced possibly the least confident of his four Three Lions outings to date. 6
Jamie Vardy (for Rashford): Will probably get his chance against Italy next week having failed to impact the game from the bench here. 5 Danny Welbeck (for Sterling): Admired by all of his England managers for his reliability, but still searching for his role under Southgate. 5
Dele Alli (for Lingard): The Tottenham playmaker is one of few inked-in World Cup starters and kept England ticking over after arriving with the lead already established. 6 Ashley Young (for Rose): Looks in prime condition and now a live challenger for the first XI in Russia. Can expect a starting berth at Wembley on Tuesday. 6
Eric Dier (for Maguire): Handed a couple of minutes in the back three for experience. N/A
