Squad Ratings: The Three Lions Victory Secured by Kane's Brace in World Cup Qualifier

Throughout a dominant display, England clinched a further win against their opponents, with a number of squad members turning in memorable displays throughout the game.

First-choice Lineup

The goalkeeper Was rarely tested to make before the break but then called into action from Arbër Hoxha’s bent shot. His sliding intervention on Qazim Laci showed excellent anticipation. Six out of ten

The debutant Tested against Albania’s primary attacker through their forward. Started more centrally early on but moved to the flank after a teammate entered the fray. Seven

The defender Pushed up the pitch with the ball at his feet, a familiar role previously. On occasion lacked urgency in possession with the tactic discontinued at half-time. 6/10

Dan Burn A constant threat on corners and free-kicks, per usual, could serve as an alternative to Stones in defense rather than paired with him. A careless distribution after the break almost led to the first goal for the visitors. Six

The young full-back A further assured performance from the 20-year-old following his debut against Serbia. A teammate did not capitalize on the most of a clever flick over the opposing backline. The left-back spot looks secure so soon. Seven

Adam Wharton His maiden beginning in an England shirt. Somewhat sloppy in possession but his whipped corners were a threat. A useful game manager for the coach to call upon versus teams who drop deep. Booked after a reckless tackle. 6/10

Declan Rice Set-pieces from dead balls and free kicks were dangerous. Enjoyed license to move in left midfield but was in an offside position upon receiving in shooting positions. Granted a well-earned rest after an hour. Six

Jude Bellingham Played in an advanced spot out wide while also put in dirty work. Displayed glimpses of brilliance and scuffed an attempt wide. Substituted towards the end by Rogers, his competition, following a yellow card. 7

The winger Had England’s top opening of the first half, his shot smartly stopped from Thomas Strakosha. With Quansah staying deep, it fell to him to offer an outlet out wide yet his deliveries from the touchline were inconsistent. Taken off for the final quarter-hour. Six

Harry Kane The decisive figure scoring seventy-seventh and seventy-eighth goals for his country. The opener a trademark opportunist's goal and the second a superb finish with his head having drifted away from his marker. At 32, his form is unwavering with the national team stand a real opportunity in the upcoming tournament when he's in the team. Eight

The attacker Found it tough to get into the game on the left flank. Had a good opening when set up from a teammate but Strakosha denied him. Rashford produced a bigger effect when substituted. Five

Substitutes

• Foden (for a teammate on 63 minutes) Looked lively and combined well with Kane in a natural spot, 6
• Saka (on for the winger at the 63-minute mark) Spurned chances yet his delivery provided the first goal, Six
• Marcus Rashford (replacing the attacker 75) Energetic when brought on assisting the second goal with superb cross into the area, 7/10
• Elliot Anderson (for Wharton in the 75th minute) Appears comfortable so soon, 6/10
• Rogers (for Bellingham with minutes remaining) Too brief a spell to make an impact, Six
