Posted by Sami Mokbel | 11 hours ago | Sport | Views: 20


Jordan Pickford: Had very little to do as England dominated pretty much from start to finish. He won’t be complaining. 6

Reece James: Always provides quality down the right and the fact he has played two games in quick succession bodes well for his fitness given his history of injury. 6.5

Ezri Konsa: One error in the first half when England were 2-0 up, but otherwise a professional performance from the central defender – and his first international goal to boot. 7

Marc Guehi: Is he England’s most influential central defender now given John Stones’ injury problems? Didn’t put a foot wrong here and got off the mark for England. 7.5

Tino Livramento: The versatile full-back linked well with Newcastle team-mate Anthony Gordon down the left. Full of energy and found a good balance between defence and attack. 7

Elliot Anderson: Controlled performance in central midfield and looks to have cemented his place in the squad. Encouraging week for the Nottingham Forest man. 8

Declan Rice: Appears to have made the permanent switch to number eight for club and country with a licence to break forward at will. His dead-ball delivery assisted two of England’s five goals. 8.5

Noni Madueke: Emerging as a very important player for Thomas Tuchel – an assist against Andorra and his first England goal here. An important few days for the Arsenal winger. 7.5

Morgan Rogers: A very promising display from the Aston Villa man. Made things happen in the final third and Serbia had problems picking him up between the lines. Laid on England’s second for Madueke. 7.5

Anthony Gordon: Bright down the left and provided the sort of penetration England lacked against Andorra. Justified his selection. 7

Harry Kane: Keeps scoring goals for club and country. Just as important for the national team as he was five years ago. 7
