HOW THEY RATED

FORMATION: 3-4-3

- COMPILED by PAUL BROWN

JOE HART ............... 5

Beaten from miles out for the goal and got nowhere near it. Lived dangerousl­y at times with his clearances too.

MICHAEL KEANE ... 7

Showed an impressive range of passing and looked totally at ease on the internatio­nal stage. Hugely promising.

CHRIS SMALLING..6

Has had an up and down season but looked calm and composed here. Still a reliable performer for his country.

GARY CAHILL ........ 6

Captain acted as the organiser in a new-look back three which looked largely tight, solid and untroubled.

KYLE WALKER ....... 6

Probably the best right-back in the Premier League. Got forward at every opportunit­y without neglecting his defensive duties.

ERIC DIER .............. 6

Did a good job of breaking up play and even forced one good save. But slow to close down Podolski for his screamer.

JAKE LIVERMORE .. 7

Debutant started well. Tried to play forward whenever he could and didn’t look out of place at all. Promising.

RYAN BERTRAND .. 6

Always seems to make his run at the right time. Rarely caught out of position and never looked under real pressure.

ADAM LALLANA .... 7

Hit the post after a superb intercepti­on and driving run. Gave the German back four no peace at all.

DELE ALLI ............... 8

In fine form for Spurs. Should have scored in the first half. Slipped in a couple of nice throughbal­ls and pressed his defenders well.

JAMIE VARDY ....... 6

Looked bright and lively. Pace caused problems but had few clear-cut chances. Terrible dive in the first half.

SUBS:

Nathan Redmond (for Lallana, 66). Deserved his chance. 6 Marcus Rashford (for Vardy, 70). Produced a typical thrust soon after coming on. 6 Jesse Lingard (for Alli, 71). Good movement. James Ward-Prowse (for Livermore, 82). Brief cameo. Luke Shaw (for Bertrand, 84). Rare run-out. John Stones (for Smalling, 85). Crucial deflection. Unused: Forster, Clyne, Barkley, Oxlade-Chamberlai­n, Defoe, Sterling, Heaton.

GERMANY (4-4-2): Ter Stegen 7; Kimmich 6, Hummels 6, Rudiger 6, Hector 6; Sane 6, Kroos 6, Weigl 5 (Can 66, 6), Brandt 6 (Schurrle 59, 6); PODOLSKI 8 (Rudy 84), Werner 5 (Muller 77).

Unused: Trapp, Mustafi, Howedes, Sule, Leno.

Ref: Damir Skomina (Slovenia) – 6.
