The national team clinched their place at the global tournament with a decisive triumph over the Baltic side on the midweek fixture.

First Eleven Performance

• Jordan Pickford – Made a few of fine stops in the latter period to extend his remarkable clean sheet record. It's now nine straight in a row. 6.5
• Djed Spence – Seems at home in international football like a duck to water. More challenging tests lie ahead, of course, but a good start to his England career. 7
• The defender – A pair of fixtures in a short span will do the City defender a great benefit. Still one of the key players on the roster, fitness permitting. 7
• Ezri Konsa – Chosen ahead of his competitor and didn't put a foot wrong. Made an outstanding last-ditch recovery tackle in the second half to boot. 7
• Myles Lewis-Skelly – Appeared a little off the pace at times, understandable given his scarce minutes at Arsenal. An intriguing few months ahead. 6
• The midfielder – Appears essential in this England team at the moment. Seems made for this level and has developed an strong partnership with Rice. 7
• Declan Rice – Excelling in his number eight role. The mainstay of England's midfield is displaying his attacking abilities now. Developing into a genuine all-round midfielder. 7
• Morgan Rogers – Quieter as he has been in England's victories over Serbia and Wales. It will be revealed next month who is the leading candidate of the number 10 shirt. 6
• Bukayo Saka – Provided an setup to his superb goal against Wales last Thursday. Will be vital to England's hopes next summer. 7.5
• The striker – At his peak. Took his count for the season to 20 strikes. Has hit the back of the net 76 occasions for his country. Will he achieve 100? 8
• Newcastle's attacker – Sharp finish to open the scoring for England here in away. Has acquitted himself well during this fixture period. 7.5

The Bench Players

• Jordan Henderson (for Rice 60) – Maintained the tempo in midfield. 6
• Crystal Palace's star (for Rogers 60) – Excellently taken goal and a menace. 7
• West Ham's attacker (for Saka 60) – Battles on his hands to make the squad when the squad is full. 6
• Newcastle's full-back (for Stones 71) – Typically, handled everything in the air. 6
• Marcus Rashford (for Gordon 71) – A speedy dash down the left stood out. 6

After a World Cup spot confirmed, the squad can now turn their attention for next summer with high hopes.
