Player Ratings: England Win Sealed by Harry Kane's Double in World Cup Qualifying Match

In a impressive display, England clinched another triumph versus Albania, with a number of squad members producing memorable performances throughout the game.

First-choice Eleven

Dean Henderson Was rarely tested to make during the opening 45 until called into action from Arbër Hoxha’s curled attempt. His sliding tackle against an Albanian attacker highlighted excellent anticipation. Six out of ten

The debutant Tested against the opposition's primary attacker in their forward. Operated in a central role to begin with later drifted wider once a teammate came on. 7/10

John Stones Pushed into midfield when in possession, as he has done before. Sometimes seemed hesitant on the ball and the tactic was shelved by the interval. 6

Dan Burn Always dangerous from dead balls, per usual, but may be a replacement to Stones in defense as opposed to paired with him. A careless pass in the second half nearly resulted in a goal for Albania. 6/10

The young full-back One more confident display from the rising star after his debut against Serbia. Saka was unable to take full advantage of an exquisite flick over their defense. The role is his to lose so soon. 7/10

The newcomer His maiden beginning with the national team. A bit sloppy when playing out though his whipped corners caused problems. A useful pace-controller available to the coach to call upon versus teams who drop deep. Booked for a rash foul. Six

The midfielder Deliveries on corner kicks and free-kicks created chances. Had license to roam down the left flank only to be in an offside position when the ball arrived with a chance to score. Awarded a well-earned rest after an hour. 6/10

Jude Bellingham Functioned in a high role down the right and also contributed with defensive duties. Demonstrated flashes of quality but mishit a shot over. Withdrawn late on by Rogers, a fellow player, after receiving a caution. Seven

The winger Had the team's best chance before halftime, his effort excellently kept out by the Albanian keeper. As Quansah holding position, he had to offer an outlet on the right yet his deliveries from the touchline were hit and miss. Taken off late in the match. 6/10

Harry Kane The match-winner with his two more strikes for his country. The first a classic poacher’s finish and the second a superb headed goal after peeling away off his defender. At 32, his form is unwavering and England are strong contenders in future competitions when he's in the team. Eight

The attacker Had difficulty to influence play from the left. Had a decent opportunity when set up from a teammate but the keeper denied him. Rashford made much more of influence in his place. Five

Substitutes

• Foden (replacing Rice 63) Appeared sharp connecting seamlessly with Kane in more familiar role, 6/10
• Bukayo Saka (on for the winger at the 63-minute mark) Spurned chances although his set-piece created the opener, 6
• Marcus Rashford (replacing the attacker 75) Active after coming on and provided the second goal with a brilliant delivery into the area, 7
• Elliot Anderson (for the midfielder in the 75th minute) Looks established already, 6
• Rogers (for the star with minutes remaining) Insufficient minutes to influence the game, 6
