Ainsley Maitland-Niles, N/A – Looked calm and composed. Didn’t really put a foot wrong and adds further cover to an ever-crowded right side. PA
ENGLAND RATINGS: Jordan Pickford, 5 – Paid tribute to Ray Clemence before kick-off when he placed behind his goal a yellow top with ‘Clemence 1’ on the back. Was untested throughout the game. EPA
Kieran Trippier, 4 -Probably the quietest of England’s players and saw very little of the ball. Defended well when he had to, but didn’t look comfortable in the wing-back role. Reuters
Kyle Walker, 6 – Was booked early on for an aggressive challenge on Sigurjonsson and gave away too many free-kicks. The Walker-Trippier axis on the right didn’t work. AP
Harry Maguire, 7 – Solid in the tackle, he displayed some expansive passing and even found himself getting forward throughout the game. AP
Eric Dier. 6 – England’s anchor. Had little to do in the first half but was alert to dangers in the second. Reuters
Bukayo Saka, 7 – Didn’t have much defending to do and so relished the chance to get into the final third. Always dangerous, and always finding penetrative positions around the opposition area. AP
Declan Rice, 7 – Solid performance at the base of the midfield and got forward to deftly head home Phil Foden’s free kick to open the scoring, and his account in an England shirt. Reuters
Mason Mount, 8 – A lively and energetic performance. He probed the Iceland defence and looked to get beyond Kane at every opportunity, and was rewarded with a well-taken finish. AP
Jack Grealish, 8 – A livewire performance once again, drawing fouls in the Iceland half and always looking for the probing pass when cutting in from the left. EPA
Harry Kane, 7 – Constantly involved linking the play, and despite being heavily marked was able to get shots away on goal; he came close with three efforts in the first half. EPA
Phil Foden, 9 – So comfortable and always looking to get the ball forward. He came close to scoring in the first half but made no mistake in the second, first converting Sancho’s pass and then threading the ball home from distance. EPA
SUBS: Tyrone Mings, 6 – Was often found playing in front of the midfield, such was the lack of attacking threat from the opposition. Tidy on the ball. Reuters
Harry Winks, 7 – Played well when he came on. Contributed to an increase in tempo and provided the assist for Foden’s second goal. Reuters
Jadon Sancho, N/A – Made an instant impact when he came on. Broke into the area from the left and chose not to shoot, and instead set up Foden to score. EPA
Tammy Abraham, N/A – Didn’t fashion any shooting opportunities but worked hard. Forced Iceland into a defensive clearance that lead to Foden’s second. AFP
