Player Ratings: England Win Secured by Kane's Double in International Qualifying Match

Throughout a commanding display, England clinched another triumph against Albania, featuring several squad members producing notable performances on the pitch.

First-choice XI

Dean Henderson Was rarely tested required in the first half before forced to intervene by an opponent's curled attempt. His sliding intervention on an Albanian attacker highlighted sharp anticipation. 6/10

Jarell Quansah Tested against the opposition's main danger in their forward. Operated in a central role initially then shifted to the flank once a teammate entered the fray. Seven

The defender Advanced up the pitch with the ball at his feet, something he's known for previously. Sometimes seemed hesitant when carrying play with the approach was shelved at half-time. 6/10

The tall defender A constant threat at set pieces, typically, but may be an alternative to his teammate at the back instead of his partner. One wayward ball in the second half nearly resulted in the first goal for Albania. Six

The young full-back A further confident display by the 20-year-old after his first cap against another side. A teammate was unable to take the opportunity from an exquisite backheel behind the opposing backline. The left-back spot looks secure already. Seven

Adam Wharton A debut start with the national team. Slightly careless when playing out however his inswinging deliveries were a threat. A useful pace-controller available to the manager to have against sides that sit back. Shown a yellow for a rash tackle. Six

The midfielder Set-pieces from corners and free-kicks were dangerous. Had freedom to drift on the left but was in an offside position as the pass came in shooting positions. Awarded a merited substitution around the 60-minute point. 6/10

Jude Bellingham Functioned in a forward spot on the right and put in the hard yards. Showed flashes of quality and scuffed a shot wide. Withdrawn towards the end by Rogers, his rival, after being booked. Seven

The winger Had the team's clearest opportunity before halftime, his effort well saved by the Albanian keeper. As a teammate holding position, he had to stretch the play on the right yet his deliveries from wide areas were hit and miss. Replaced with 15 to go. 6

Harry Kane The decisive figure with his seventy-seventh and seventy-eighth finishes in an England shirt. His first a typical opportunist's goal and his next a classy finish with his head having drifted away from his marker. Aged 32, he continues to improve and England stand a real opportunity in future competitions with him up top. 8/10

The attacker Had difficulty to influence play on the left flank. Was presented with a decent opportunity after being played in by Bellingham yet the keeper kept it out. His replacement had a greater effect when substituted. 5/10

Replacements

• Foden (for a teammate 63) Was bright and linked up effectively with the striker in a preferred position, 6
• Bukayo Saka (for the winger 63) Spurned chances but his corner led to the first goal, Six
• Marcus Rashford (for the attacker with 15 left) Lively when brought on assisting the second goal via an excellent ball into the area, 7/10
• Anderson (on for Wharton in the 75th minute) Looks established already, 6
• Rogers (replacing Bellingham 84) Not enough time to influence the game, 6
