Kieran Gibbs: 6/10 – Capable down the left, and may be quietly confidence of securing a starting berth for the Three Lions at the Euros next summer.
Dele Alli: 9/10 – England’s outstanding individual, and it’s remarkable to consider that he was making his first international start. The goal was a touch of class, but his work with the ball and his determination—witness the tackle on Morgan Schneiderlin before his opener—set him apart.
Eric Dier: 7/10 – Coped manfully at the base of the midfield, and could emerge as a valuable asset for England due to his no-frills approach and his versatility.
