England cruised to a 2-0 victory over Andorra at Villa Park and although it was hardly a World Cup qualifier to excite, there were positives for Thomas Tuchel.

The biggest came from debutant Elliot Anderson, and there was also a good performance from one of his less-heralded but increasingly important wingers.

Jordan Pickford - tried to make his own entertainment in the first half, at one point popping up at the bottom of the centre circle to get involved in the build-up, and flicking a pass up to volley it despite a centre-forward in his face 6

Reece James – as a Thomas Tuchel favourite playing ahead of Trent Alexander-Arnold amongst others, he always has to justify his selection, so his assist for Declan Rice's goal was a welcome addition to a good performance 7

Marc Guehi – more than coped with what little the visitors had to offer after his emotional deadline day 6

Dan Burn – another who had an uneventful game, although he was booked 6

Miles Lewis-Skelly – unable to get into Arsenal's early-season XI, he failed to sparkle here but showed he can do a job for England at left-back 6

Elliot Anderson – in his passing, his tackling and his positional discipline a very encouraging debut denied a goal by a smart reflect save in the second half 8

Declan Rice – played higher up the field than Anderson, and got himself a good goal 7

Noni Madueke – bright wide on the right, he linked well with Eberechi Eze and it was his cross that produced the opening goal 8

Eberechi Eze – did okay in the hole but given the competition he needs more than that 6

Marcus Rashford – a couple of nice switches of play and got to the byline a few times but a player of his quality needs to do more once settled at Barcelona 6
