England won their penultimate World Cup qualifier against Serbia on Thursday night as superb strikes from Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze lit up Wembley.
The Arsenal winger struck on the half hour mark, sending a vicious volley past the Serbian goalkeeper to nudge England into the ascendancy. The Three Lions probed after Saka's opener to add to their tally but were unable to do so until the final moments when Eberechi Eze bagged a stunning second.
Here, Mirror Football rates Thomas Tuchel's men as they now turn their attention to Sunday's trip to Albania...
Jordan Pickford - 6
Yet to concede in this campaign. Another comfortable night for England’s No1.
Reece James - 7
Affectionately called “Reecie” by Thomas Tuchel. No wonder. Does not let his manager down.
Ezri Konsa - 7
He really looks the part. Tall, commanding, composed. Deserves to start next summer.
John Stones - 6
His composure, experience and reading of the game make him so important.
Nico O’Reilly - 7
Left back is such a problem position for England and this was a decent audition.

Elliott Anderson - 7
The No6 position - anchoring the midfield - is now his to lose. Busy and strong.
Declan Rice - 6
Marauding midfield display. No surprise he delivered a free kick which led to a goal.
Bukayo Saka - 8
Another outstanding performance from England’s magnificent No7. So efficient and ruthless.
Morgan Rogers - 7
Lively, impressive and strong. This was him rising to the challenge of keeping his place.
Marcus Rashford - 6
Very frustrating night. You cannot fault his effort but nothing came off for him.
Harry Kane - 6
Often had to drop deep in search of the ball with little service and chances.
