England (4-2-3-1)

Kyle Walker (CB): Could have given away penalty when Sammie Szmodics tumbled. Otherwise untroubled before going off. 6

Marc Guéhi (CB): Ireland wanted a penalty for a tangle with Evan Ferguson. Flicked on for England’s third. 6

Lewis Hall (LB): Unflustered on his first start. Showed adventure in attack. Deserves more chances under Thomas Tuchel. 7

Conor Gallagher (CM): Full of hustle and bustle in midfield. Made it 3-0 with his first international goal. 7

Curtis Jones (CM): Not as influential as against Greece. Still showed flashes of class, raising the tempo with quick bursts. 6

Noni Madueke (RW): Kept getting into promising positions but lacked accuracy. Would benefit from releasing the ball sooner. 6

Jude Bellingham (AM): Stood up when England needed him, winning the penalty that broke the deadlock. Added two assists. 8 MOTM

Anthony Gordon (LW): Struggled to hurt a deep defence before half-time but an expert volley doubled the lead. 7

Harry Kane (CF): Was not playing well before superb pass led to his penalty. Duly converted for 1-0. 7
