Gareth Southgate's side secured their spot at the global tournament with a decisive victory over the Baltic side on Tuesday evening.

The Starting Lineup

• Jordan Pickford – Made a couple of fine stops in the latter period to extend his impressive clean sheet run. It's now nine consecutive in a row. 6.5
• The defender – Has taken to international football seamlessly. More challenging tests are coming, of course, but a good start to his England career. 7
• The defender – Two games in a short span will do the City defender a great benefit. Still one of the automatic picks on the roster, fitness permitting. 7
• The centre-back – Picked ahead of his competitor and didn't put a foot wrong. Made an outstanding last-ditch recovery tackle in the closing period to boot. 7
• Myles Lewis-Skelly – Appeared a slightly off the pace at times, understandable given his lack of action at Arsenal. An intriguing few months ahead. 6
• The midfielder – Looks irreplaceable in this England team at the moment. Seems made for this level and has developed an excellent partnership with Rice. 7
• Declan Rice – Enjoying his attacking role. The pillar of England's midfield is demonstrating his offensive abilities now. Becoming a genuine all-round midfielder. 7
• The forward – Not as impactful as he has been in England's successes over Serbia and Wales. The answer will come next month who is the true owner of the number 10 shirt. 6
• Arsenal's star – Provided an key pass to his brilliant goal against Wales last Thursday. Will be crucial to England's hopes next summer. 7.5
• Harry Kane – In the form of his life. Took his tally for the season to 20 strikes. Has found the net 76 goals for his country. Is 100 possible 100? 8
• Anthony Gordon – Clinical finish to start things off for England here in away. Has performed admirably during this international window. 7.5

Subs' Impact

• The experienced midfielder (for Rice 60) – Maintained the tempo in midfield. 6
• The playmaker (for Rogers 60) – Well-executed goal and a threat. 7
• The winger (for Saka 60) – Battles on his hands to earn a place when everyone's fit. 6
• Newcastle's full-back (for Stones 71) – Typically, managed everything aerially. 6
• Marcus Rashford (for Gordon 71) – One pacy run down the left stood out. 6

With their place booked, the squad can now focus for the upcoming tournament with high hopes.
