HOW THEY RATED

FORMATION: 3-4-3

NICK POPE 6 Early save from Scamacca as he became just second Newcastle keeper to play for England.

KYLE WALKER 5 It was a solid performance until he hesitated and allowed Raspadori in to score.

ERIC DIER 7 First England game for two years and made a big interception after the break to keep it goalless.

HARRY MAGUIRE 6 Dodgy start, settled into the game and made a few blocks which helped stop Italy attacks.

REECE JAMES 6 Sloppy in early stages as he gave ball away but grew into it as game progressed.

JUDE BELLINGHAM 7 Cool on the ball, some nice passing in behind and helped break Italy press often.

DECLAN RICE 6 Early interception to stop attack and provided defensive cover but not particularly sparkling.

BUKAYO SAKA 5 Rash early foul, caught out high up the pitch which left space in behind but good going forward.

PHIL FODEN 7 Great movement and buzzed around trying to spark a rather lifeless attack.

HARRY KANE 6 Lashed over from distance in frustration but worked hard trying to muster something.

RAHEEM STERLING 5 Gave away the ball over and over after poor first touches. Not his best night in an England shirt.
