Jordan Pickford – Was left exposed by Jarell Quansah’s mistake for Croatia’s goal. Was as reliable as ever prior to that. 6
Trent Alexander-Arnold – Played within himself. Some nice link-up play with Morgan Rogers down the right. 6
Jarell Quansah – Dreadful mistake to gift Croatia an equaliser. Was entirely comfortable up to that point. 5
Dan Burn – Not picked in the original squad but started. Unspectacular but largely reliable in the heart of defence. 6
Lewis Hall – Another effective contribution from the Newcastle defender. Is he now England’s first-choice left-back? 7
Elliot Anderson – Kept things ticking over nicely in the engine room and always looked to play forward. 6
Declan Rice – Back in the team after missing the previous internationals through injury and conducted the midfield expertly. 6
Jude Bellingham – Not quite the outstanding level as his most recent England displays but still oozed quality in possession. 6
Morgan Rogers – Posed a threat down the right and deserved his goal – his third for England at senior level. 6
Harry Kane – A historic night for the England captain as he became the nation’s most capped player. Scored the winner from the spot to boot. 6
Anthony Gordon – Was sensational during the last set of international games. Less so here, but remains crucial for England. 6
