Malta man marking

Andrew Hogg

Born in Kingston upon Thames, Hogg moved to Malta at start of season. He enjoyed his return and made some superb saves. 8

Ryan Camilleri

Tough task trying to halt double threat of Rose and Lingard, but came to his side’s rescue by cutting out a dangerous cross from Rose. 6

Andre Agius

The 30-year-old had Malta’s only shot of the game, which forced Hart to make a smart save. Will have enjoyed the brilliant support from their fans. 6

Zach Muscat

One of three Muscats to feature, Zach is known for his never-say-die attitude and the Malta defence certainly didn’t surrender. 6

Alex Muscat

A performance full of endeavour and spirit, helped make sure that Malta were by no means embarrassed. 6

Gareth Sciberras

Holding midfielder helped to keep England at bay for almost half an hour with busy break-up play. Also made a couple of vital blocks. 7

Bjorn Kristensen

Has a Danish father and Maltese mother, and played his youth football in Denmark before moving to Malta. Spent most of the game on the edge of his own box. 6

Paul Fenech

Regarded as Malta’s key man, the midfielder was unable to shine as he helped a rearguard effort that entailed every man, apart from Effiong. 6

Steve Borg

Booked for a late challenge on Lingard as the winger sped past him. Borg may wonder how his was a bookable offence and Rooney’s not. 6

Andre Schembri

The midfielder will take home a nice Wayne Rooney stud mark as a memento of the game after he was left in a heap following a late challenge. 6

Alfred Effiong

Led an attacking line that consisted solely of himself. Nigerian-born Effiong battled and worked hard and gave Cahill a couple of meaty shoves. 6

Subs

Michael Mifsud (for Effiong, 75) Rowen Muscat (for Schembri, 85)
