How did the players fare in England's win over San Marino?
ENGLAND (4-2-3-1):
6 Pope: Did not have to make a single save as he was promoted to the starting line-up to deputise for the injured Pickford
7 James: Delivered a fine cross for Calvert-Lewin’s first goal – will have much tougher tests as he tries to stay ahead of Alexander-Arnold
7 Coady: Will not have an easier night in the rest of his international career – captained the side in the second half
6 Stones: Looked comfortable stepping out of defence to feed those in front of him – went off at half-time
8 Chilwell: Delivered some fine crosses from the left-hand side and set up Ward-Prowse’s opening goal
6 Phillips: Needs to prove himself against much tougher opposition if he is to claim a place in the squad for the Euros
7 Ward-Prowse: Claimed his first international goal with a neat finish and also hit the post with a second-half free-kick
8 LINGARD: Justified his recall with a bright attacking-midfield display that featured a series of dangerous runs
7 Mount: Linked play neatly in an attacking-midfield role – his half-time exit suggests he will be heavily involved in the next two games
7 Sterling: Scored a lovely first-half goal, but also wasted a couple of excellent chances before he departed at half-time
8 Calvert-Lewin: Scored two goals and might easily have had another two – looks nailed on for a place at this summer’s Euros
Subs:
6 Foden (for Sterling, 46): Produced a few nice touches after coming off the bench at half-time
6 Mings (for Stones, 46): Barely had to break into a sweat as he slotted into the back four for the second half
7 Bellingham (for Mount, 46): Looks an extremely bright prospect at 17 and came close with an attempted bicycle kick
6 Trippier (for James, 46): Spent most of the second half on the front foot – Southgate clearly rates him highly
7 Watkins (for Calvert-Lewin, 63): Marked his debut appearance with a goal as he drilled a low finish into the corner
(not used): Johnstone (gk), Shaw, Maguire, Rice, Dier, Henderson, Kane.
SAN MARINO (5-4-1):
BENEDETTINI 8; Hirsch 4, Battistini 5, Brolli 4, Rossi 4, Grandoni 4 (Ceccaroli 55, 3); Nanni 4, Lunadei 4 (Giardi 79), Golinucci 4 (Battistini 71), Hirsch 3 (Mularoni 55, 3), Berardi 3 (D’Addario 79); Palazzi 4.
Subs (not used): Benedettini (gk), Stimac, Zafferani, Conti, Fabbri, Nanni, Zonzini.
Man Of The Match: JESSE LINGARD – He might have missed a couple of chances, but the West Ham loanee enjoyed himself on his international recall.
