England 2-0 Andorra: World Cup qualifier player ratings for Thomas Tuchel’s side | World Cup 2026 qualifiers

Jordan Pickford
Stood around. Watched the clouds go by. Faced no shots. Wondered if there was a better use of his time. 6

Reece James
His crosses were one of the main threats. Made the second goal. Appears to have established himself as the No 1 right-back. 7

Marc Guéhi
Picked over Ezri Konsa, the Crystal Palace defender was untroubled but his passing could have been more incisive. 6

Dan Burn
The big man is beginning to look like Thomas Tuchel’s leading centre-back – not that Andorra put that notion to the test. 6

Myles Lewis-Skelly
The teenager was never going to have to combat dangerous wing play. Made little impact at the other end. 6

Elliot Anderson
It was only Andorra but this was a decent debut. The 22-year-old offered positive passing, awareness and pressing in the problem No 6 role. 7

Declan Rice
Operated in an advanced role – the one he plays for Arsenal – and burst into the box to head in England’s second goal. 7

Eberechi Eze
Played as a No 8. Wasted some inviting chances. Linked with Anderson for the opener but he was ponderous at times. 6

Noni Madueke
England’s brightest attacker. His cross led to an own-goal for 1-0 and he made a fine chance for Eze with a winding run. 7

Harry Kane
Constantly surrounded by three centre-backs. Dropped deep to try to affect play. Did not have a sniff of a goal. 6

Marcus Rashford
A lot of tricks, flicks and feints but none came off. Missed a sitter. Yet to cement his place. 6

Subs: Anthony Gordon: 6; Morgan Rogers: 6; Tino Livramento: 6; Ezri Konsa: 6; Morgan Gibbs-White: 6.
