Player Ratings: England Win Sealed by Harry Kane's Brace in World Cup Qualifier

Throughout a commanding showing, England secured a further win against their opponents, featuring multiple squad members delivering memorable performances throughout the game.

First-choice Lineup

The goalkeeper Not a save to perform in the first half until called into action by an opponent's curled attempt. A sliding challenge against Qazim Laci showed sharp reading of the game. 6/10

The debutant Challenged against Albania’s main danger in Hoxha. Operated more centrally early on but moved to the flank after Saka entered the fray. Seven

The defender Moved into midfield when in possession, something he's known for in the past. At times was too casual on the ball and the approach discontinued by the interval. 6

The tall defender A constant threat on corners and free-kicks, per usual, could serve as a replacement to his teammate at the back instead of his partner. A loose ball after the break nearly resulted in an opener from Albania. Six

Nico O’Reilly One more assured display from the 20-year-old after his debut against another side. A teammate did not capitalize on the most of a clever flick over the Albania defence. The role is his to lose at this stage. Seven

Adam Wharton His maiden beginning with the national team. Slightly careless when playing out though his whipped set-pieces posed a danger. A handy game manager available to the coach to utilize versus teams who drop deep. Booked for a rash challenge. Six

The midfielder Deliveries on corner kicks and set-plays created chances. Had room to move down the left flank only to be offside as the pass came in front of goal. Awarded a well-earned rest around the 60-minute point. 6/10

The star midfielder Operated in an advanced role out wide and also did plenty of dirty work. Showed moments of class and dragged an effort over. Replaced late on for a teammate, a fellow player, after receiving a caution. 7

The winger Was presented with the team's clearest opportunity of the first half, his effort well saved from Thomas Strakosha. As a teammate holding position, it fell to him to stretch the play on the right although his balls from the touchline were inconsistent. Substituted late in the match. 6/10

The captain The difference-maker with his 77th and 78th strikes in an England shirt. The opener a typical opportunist's goal while the second an excellent finish with his head following a clever run off his defender. Aged 32, his form is unwavering with the national team have every chance in future competitions with him up top. Eight

Eberechi Eze Had difficulty to influence play on the left flank. Was presented with a decent opportunity following a pass by Bellingham but Strakosha made the save. His replacement produced a bigger effect after coming on. Five

Substitutes

• Foden (replacing Rice on 63 minutes) Appeared sharp and combined seamlessly with the striker in more familiar role, Six
• Saka (on for the winger 63) Failed to convert but his corner created the breakthrough, 6
• Rashford (replacing the attacker with 15 left) Lively when brought on and provided Kane’s second via an excellent ball to the back post, Seven
• Anderson (on for Wharton in the 75th minute) Looks established already, Six
• Rogers (for the star with minutes remaining) Not enough time to influence the game, 6/10
