England enjoyed a hugely successful Euro 2020, reaching their first major final for 55 years. Chief Sports Writer Scott Wilson assesses every member of Gareth Southgate's squad that made it onto the field.


JORDAN PICKFORD 9

The Wearsider barely put a foot wrong all tournament, with Leonardo Bonucci’s strike in the final the only goal he conceded from open play. He made two superb saves against Germany in the last-16, and excelled again in the final, saving two of Italy’s penalties


KYLE WALKER 8

Proved his versatility once again by playing as both a right-back and centre-half. England are blessed with a number of right-back options, but Walker is clearly Southgate’s number one. Attacked effectively when the opportunity allowed, and was rock solid in defence.


JOHN STONES 9

Was the only defender to play in all seven of England’s matches, and conclusively answered any pre-tournament questions about his form and concentration levels. Emerged as one of the best centre-halves at the Euros, with his distribution under pressure never letting him down.


HARRY MAGUIRE 8

Missed the opening two matches through injury, but returned for the final group game and was one of England’s key men throughout the knockout stages. Thumped home a header against Ukraine and powered home his spot-kick in the final – cemented his status as a fans’ favourite.


LUKE SHAW 9

One of England’s more surprising stars. Was expected to have to battle with Ben Chilwell for a starting spot, but after missing the opening game, quickly established himself as the first-choice left-back. Claimed his first international goal with a stunning volley in the final.


KIERAN TRIPPIER 7

Started the tournament as a surprise choice at left-back, and ended it playing at right wing-back. Couldn’t force his way into Gareth Southgate’s first-choice back four, but was a nailed-on pick whenever the England boss went for a back five. Crossed for Shaw’s goal in the final.


TYRONE MINGS 7

Started England’s opening two group games, and did not let anyone down as he deputised for the injured Maguire. Helped keep clean sheets against Croatia and Scotland, and was especially impressive in the opening match as he shut down the Croatian attack.


REECE JAMES 4

Got the nod to start at right-back against Scotland, but wasn’t able to make much of an attacking impact. Would have hoped for a much higher level of involvement, although given that he does not turn 22 until December, his time could still come.


DECLAN RICE 8

Made the defensive-midfield role his own as he dovetailed superbly with Kalvin Phillips. His presence was a key factor in England keeping a clean sheet in their opening five matches, with his work-rate, energy and slick passing repeatedly impressing. Was England’s best player in the final.


KALVIN PHILLIPS 9

Was a revelation from first game to last as he took to international football like a duck to water. Ran himself into the ground in each and every match in an attempt to shore up England’s midfield, and also used the ball effectively whenever he had it. Set the tone for England’s tournament with his display against Croatia.


JORDAN HENDERSON 6

Justified his presence in the squad with his influence off the pitch, but the after-effects of February’s groin operation limited his ability to hit top form on it. Wasn’t able to dislodge Rice or Phillips from the starting side, although he will never forget his first international goal against Ukraine.


JACK GREALISH 5

Was flagged up as one of England’s potential superstars before the tournament, but never really got the chance to hold down a place in the side. Set up Raheem Sterling’s goal against the Czech Republic, and was involved in both of the goals against Germany after coming off the bench. Should have come on sooner in the final.


MASON MOUNT 5

Was one of the two players deemed as close contacts of Billy Gilmour, which meant he missed the Czech Republic and Germany matches. Is clearly one of Southgate’s key men, hence his return for the latter games. Didn’t score a goal though, and he went missing in the final.


JADON SANCHO 5

Went into the tournament on the back of an excellent season with Borussia Dortmund, but found his opportunities extremely limited. Did what was asked of him when he finally got his chance against Ukraine, but quickly returned to the bench after that. Missed his penalty in the final.


PHIL FODEN 4

Started the tournament in England’s starting side, but ended it injured and not even on the bench for the final. Hit the post in the early stages of the Croatia game, but that proved to be as good as it got. Will hope to have a much bigger impact at the next World Cup in Qatar.


BUKAYO SAKA 8

His tournament might have ended with the despair of a penalty miss, but this was a breakthrough month for the Arsenal teenager. Was a surprise call-up for the Czech Republic game, with his strong showing keeping him in the side for the Germany match. Returned for the semi-final against Denmark and impressed again.


JUDE BELLINGHAM 5

The 18-year-old’s activity was limited to a series of cameos from the bench, but he nevertheless justified his inclusion as the youngest member of the squad. Made three substitute appearances, with his calm use of the ball helping England take the sting out of things.


RAHEEM STERLING 9

England’s star forward – and one of the best players at the Euros. Scored three goals, finding the net against Croatia and Czech Republic in the group stage and Germany in the last 16. Was brave and bold in possession, and transformed England’s attacking whenever he was on the ball.


HARRY KANE 7

Started slowly, when his fitness was being questioned, but exploded into life in the knockout stage. Opened his goalscoring account with a header against Germany, added two more goals against Ukraine, and sent the nation into ecstasy when he scored against Denmark. Led from the front as usual.


MARCUS RASHFORD 3

His penalty miss in the final pretty much summed up his tournament. Didn’t make a single start, and wasn’t really able to make an impact in his five substitute appearances. Remains an inspiration with everything he does off the field, but needs to rediscover his spark on it.


DOMINIC CALVERT-LEWIN 3

Was only handed two brief substitute appearances, so his impact was limited. Failed to even make the squad for some games, highlighting his position in Southgate's plans.
