England secured their spot at the next World Cup with a convincing win over the Baltic side on Tuesday night.
First Eleven Performance
- Jordan Pickford – Made a couple of excellent stops in the second half to preserve his impressive clean sheet run. That's nine in a row. 6.5
- Djed Spence – Has adapted to international football with ease. Tougher tests are coming, of course, but a good start to his England career. 7
- John Stones – A pair of fixtures in five days will do the Manchester City defender a great benefit. Still one of the first names on the team-sheet, fitness permitting. 7
- Aston Villa's defender – Selected ahead of the other option and performed solidly. Executed an outstanding last-ditch recovery tackle in the second half to boot. 7
- Arsenal's talent – Looked a little not at his best at times, understandable given his scarce minutes at his club. An intriguing few months ahead. 6
- The midfielder – Looks irreplaceable in this England team at the moment. Seems made for this level and has formed an excellent partnership with Rice. 7
- The midfielder – Enjoying his number eight role. The pillar of England's midfield is demonstrating his attacking abilities now. Developing into a real all-round midfielder. 7
- Morgan Rogers – Less influential as he has been in England's wins over other teams. We should find out next month who is the rightful holder of the number 10 shirt. 6
- The winger – Added an key pass to his excellent goal against Wales last Thursday. Will be vital to England's hopes next summer. 7.5
- The captain – In the form of his life. Increased his total for the season to 20 strikes. Has hit the back of the net 76 times for his country. Will he achieve 100? 8
- Anthony Gordon – Precise finish to start things off for England here in away. Has acquitted himself well during this fixture period. 7.5
The Bench Players
- Jordan Henderson (for Rice 60) – Kept things moving in midfield. 6
- Crystal Palace's star (for Rogers 60) – Superbly finished goal and a danger. 7
- Jarrod Bowen (for Saka 60) – Faces competition on his hands to make the squad when everyone's fit. 6
- The defender (for Stones 71) – Typically, handled everything in the air. 6
- Marcus Rashford (for Gordon 71) – One pacy run down the left stood out. 6
With a World Cup spot confirmed, the squad can now prepare for next summer with confidence.
