Player Ratings: The Three Lions Win Sealed by Harry Kane's Brace in World Cup Qualifying Match

In a dominant performance, the English national team secured one more triumph against their opponents, featuring several players turning in notable displays during the match.

Starting Eleven

Dean Henderson Was rarely tested to perform in the first half until forced to intervene by an opponent's curled attempt. His sliding intervention on Qazim Laci showed his reading of the game. Six out of ten

Jarell Quansah Challenged against Albania’s main danger in Hoxha. Started through the middle to begin with but moved to the flank after a teammate came on. Seven

The defender Advanced into midfield when in possession, a familiar role in the past. Sometimes seemed hesitant when carrying play with the approach abandoned after the break. 6/10

Dan Burn A nuisance on corners and free-kicks, typically, perhaps is another option to Stones in defense instead of his partner. A careless pass after the break almost led to a goal from Albania. 6

Nico O’Reilly A further assured display from the youngster following his first cap against Serbia. Saka did not capitalize on the most of an exquisite touch behind the Albania defence. His position is his to lose already. 7/10

The newcomer His maiden beginning with the national team. Slightly loose in possession however his inswinging corners posed a danger. An effective game manager for the coach to utilize against sides that sit back. Cautioned for a poorly timed challenge. Six

Declan Rice Crosses on corner kicks and set-plays created chances. Was given license to move on the left only to be offside as the pass came in shooting positions. Granted a deserved substitution after an hour. Six

The star midfielder Operated in a forward role down the right and did plenty of dirty work. Showed glimpses of brilliance and dragged an effort over. Withdrawn in the closing stages by a teammate, his rival, after receiving a caution. 7

Jarrod Bowen Had the team's best chance in the opening period, his effort smartly stopped by the opposing goalkeeper. As a teammate hanging back, it fell to him to offer an outlet on the right although his balls from wide areas were hit and miss. Substituted late in the match. 6

The captain The difference-maker scoring 77th and 78th goals at international level. His first a typical close-range tap-in and the second an excellent finish with his head having drifted away away from the opposition. Now 32, he continues to improve and England are strong contenders in the upcoming tournament when he's in the team. 8/10

The attacker Had difficulty to get into the game out wide. Had a decent opportunity when set up from a teammate but Strakosha made the save. Rashford had a greater influence in his place. 5/10

Substitutes

• Foden (for a teammate 63) Appeared sharp and linked up effectively with the striker in a natural spot, Six
• Saka (for Eze 63) Failed to convert but his corner led to the breakthrough, 6/10
• Marcus Rashford (replacing the attacker 75) Lively after coming on assisting the second goal via an excellent ball to the far post, 7/10
• Anderson (on for the midfielder 75) Looks established at this level, Six
• Morgan Rogers (for Bellingham with minutes remaining) Too brief a spell to make an impact, Six
