It took England’s substitutes to set the standards on a night when the Three Lions struggle without anything to play for.

Those who came off the bench certainly did, and it showed in performances which would have scored higher had they only been on the pitch longer in England’s 2-0 win.

Jordan Pickford – put Elliot Anderson in trouble with an ill-advised backpass but had little to do 6

Reece James – a gorgeous backheeled one-two with Jude Bellingham in amongst some sloppy moments too 6

Ezri Konsa – some important defending before England had woken up 7

John Stones – a stroll of a game for him 6

Nico O'Reilly – got forward enthusiastically on his international debut 7

Elliot Anderson – had about 20 minutes where he could show his qualities going forward 7

Declan Rice – never lets England down 6

Bukayo Saka – his volleyed goal was pure class in a top performance 8

Morgan Rogers – did not take his chance with Bellingham on the bench 6

Marcus Rashford – full of energy, full of confidence, nothing to show for it 7

Harry Kane – dropped off the front to spread a couple of lovely passes and even came all the way back to put in a brilliant tackle but headed a great chance wide at a corner 7

Substitutes:

Jordan Henderson (for Rice, 65) – did his job as usual 6

Jude Bellingham (for Rogers, 65) – made his point with a really energetic cameo from the bench 8

Eberechi Eze (for Rashford, 65) – hit the crossbar and scored a goal in a livewire display 7

Phil Foden (for Kane, 65) – looked the part as a "false nine", making the prospect of an injured Kane a lot less scary 8

Adam Wharton (for Anderson, 85) – N/A

Not used: Chalobah, Burn, D Henderson, Spence, Bowen, Trafford, Quansah.
