Squad Ratings: The Three Lions Victory Secured by Harry Kane's Double in International Qualifying Match

Throughout a dominant showing, the English national team clinched a further triumph versus their opponents, with multiple squad members delivering memorable displays throughout the game.

Starting Eleven

The goalkeeper Was rarely tested required in the first half until tested from an opponent's bent shot. One well-timed sliding challenge on an Albanian attacker demonstrated excellent anticipation. 6/10

Jarell Quansah Challenged against Albania’s primary attacker through Hoxha. Operated in a central role initially then shifted out wide once a teammate was introduced. 7

The defender Pushed into midfield when in possession, a familiar role before. Sometimes was too casual on the ball with the approach abandoned at half-time. 6

Dan Burn Always dangerous on corners and free-kicks, typically, perhaps is an alternative for Stones at the back as opposed to his partner. One wayward ball in the second half almost led to an opener for Albania. 6/10

The young full-back One more confident showing from the rising star following his initial appearance against Serbia. Saka failed to make the opportunity from an exquisite backheel behind the Albania defence. His position is firmly his so soon. Seven

Adam Wharton His maiden beginning in an England shirt. Slightly sloppy when playing out though his whipped corners posed a danger. A useful tempo-setter available to the boss to utilize versus teams who drop deep. Cautioned for a poorly timed challenge. 6/10

Declan Rice Set-pieces from dead balls and set-plays created chances. Enjoyed room to move on the left but was in an offside position when the ball arrived in shooting positions. Awarded a merited break after an hour. 6/10

Jude Bellingham Played in a high role on the right and also did plenty of defensive duties. Demonstrated glimpses of brilliance but mishit an effort high. Withdrawn late on for a teammate, his rival, following a yellow card. Seven

The winger Had the team's top opening in the opening period, his shot smartly stopped from the opposing goalkeeper. As a teammate hanging back, he had to stretch the play down the right side but his crosses from the touchline varied in quality. Substituted with 15 to go. 6/10

Harry Kane The difference-maker with his seventy-seventh and seventy-eighth goals in an England shirt. The opener a trademark close-range tap-in while the second an excellent finish with his head following a clever run away from the opposition. At 32, he continues to improve and the side have every chance next summer when he's in the team. 8

The attacker Struggled to get into the game on the left flank. Had a decent opportunity following a pass from a teammate yet Strakosha made the save. His replacement had a greater effect in his place. 5

Bench Players

• Foden (for Rice 63) Looked lively and combined well with the striker in more familiar role, Six
• Saka (on for the winger at the 63-minute mark) Missed opportunities although his set-piece created the first goal, 6/10
• Marcus Rashford (replacing Bowen with 15 left) Lively when brought on and set up the second goal with superb cross to the back post, 7/10
• Anderson (on for the midfielder 75) Looks established at this level, Six
• Morgan Rogers (replacing the star 84) Not enough time to affect things, 6/10
