A quiet first half saw the Three Lions Hunted Out in the almost empty RCDE stadium In Barcelona.

Kane, who stuck wide in the first 30 minutes, finally found a breakthrough when he hit Chelsea in Chelsea Winger MaduekeFast low cross five minutes after the break.

But there are reasons for it, because England struggled from the holiday mode to break down the bus parking tactics from the home-sided side after Albania had stopped three goals against Andorra.

Tuchel became the first manager of England to win his first three games, without giving up a single goal because his side of Group K.

Jordan Pickford – 5

As expected, a bystander in Doel and Tuchel James Trafford should have given a debut.

13

Ezri Konsa – 5

Aston Villa Star seems to be the first choice of England and he does not get a simpler game than this.

13

Dan Burn – 4

It is now clear that Tuchel loves the Newcastle defender and he has a very good chance of going to the World Cup, although some of his death was terrible.

The will of Harry Maguire and Eric Dier have to be urinated.

13

Reece James – 4

Only 24 hours after James said his best position was right back, Thomas Tuchel played him on the left.

He didn’t look that comfortable. He also produced a terrible delivery at a free kick towards the end.

13

Curtis Jones – 6

Played as a reverse right back, so had a lot of license to get ahead. Played a role in the opening goal with a smart pass to Kane.

13

Jude Bellingham – 5

Had the first shot of the game after 56 seconds, but did not cause too many problems in his offensive midfield role.

Jordan Henderson – 5

Cap No. 84 for the Ajax midfielder, although this was his first start since November 2023.

You can see why Tuchel wants a player of his experience, but he didn’t have much influence here.

Morgan Rogers – 5

Delivered some silky skills that caused Andorra a few problems, but missed an end product.

Cole Palmer – 6

Was on fire during the week in Girona, but was not really involved, although it saw much of the ball.

13

Noni Madueke – 7

The best player in England, although it should have scored in injury time.

Was particularly clear in the first half and played a role in the opening goal.

Harry Kane – 6

Missed a few chances, but finally got his goal briefly in the second. It was his 450th career goal.
