Gareth Southgate's side clinched their berth at the global tournament with a convincing win over their opponents on Tuesday evening.

First Eleven Performance

• Jordan Pickford – Pulled off a few of excellent stops in the second half to extend his remarkable clean sheet run. It's now nine consecutive in a row. 6.5
• The full-back – Has taken to international football with ease. Tougher tests lie ahead, of course, but a positive start to his England career. 7
• The defender – Two matches in a short span will do the Manchester City defender a lot of good. Still one of the first names on the team-sheet, fitness permitting. 7
• Ezri Konsa – Picked ahead of Marc Guehi and was flawless. Executed an excellent last-ditch recovery tackle in the second half to boot. 7
• The young defender – Looked a somewhat off the pace at times, understandable given his limited game time at his club. An interesting few months ahead. 6
• Elliott Anderson – Seems undroppable in this England team at the moment. Seems made for this level and has formed an productive partnership with Rice. 7
• The midfielder – Enjoying his attacking role. The pillar of England's midfield is showing his offensive abilities now. Becoming a real all-round midfielder. 7
• Morgan Rogers – Not as impactful as he has been in England's wins over Serbia and Wales. The answer will come next month who is the leading candidate of the number 10 shirt. 6
• The winger – Contributed an key pass to his brilliant goal against Wales last Thursday. Will be key to England's hopes next summer. 7.5
• The captain – In the form of his life. Boosted his count for the season to 20 strikes. Has scored 76 goals for his country. Can he reach 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

Subs' Impact

• Jordan Henderson (for Rice 60) – Kept play flowing in midfield. 6
• The playmaker (for Rogers 60) – Well-executed goal and a menace. 7
• West Ham's attacker (for Saka 60) – Has a fight on his hands to earn a place when all are available. 6
• Newcastle's full-back (for Stones 71) – As you'd expect, handled everything in the air. 6
• Manchester United's star (for Gordon 71) – One pacy run down the left caught the eye. 6

After a World Cup spot booked, the team can now turn their attention for the World Cup with optimism.
