Rating of England players
Jordan Pickford, 6: He suffered a leg injury in the first half but he appeared to be recovering from it. There wasn’t much to do except step out of your box to get some approval.
Reece James, 7: Given a more adventurous role than Chelsea, with license to move onto the overlap and offer some attacking threat. Generally solid performance.
Ezri Konsa, 6: The final moments presented a significant recovery challenge as Serbia chased a late equalizer on a quiet night for the Aston Villa defender.
John Stones, 6: Made strong tackles in the first half to stop counter-attacks, but like Konsa, didn’t have much to do until Serbia launched a flurry of attacks late on.
Nico O’Reilly, 7: Hit a shot that rebounded in the air before Saka’s opening goal, although technically it probably wasn’t enough to earn an assist. A promising start for England with Manchester City off to an impressive start to the season.
Elliot Anderson, 8: Once again excellent in the center of England’s midfield, the Bulldogs nibbled at the Serbian heels, but with the quality to keep the Three Lions on the ball as well. It’s clear why Thomas Tuchel is so committed to using Anderson as his No. 6 at the World Cup.
Declan Rice, 6: A rare match in which the Arsenal midfielder played a very calm game.
Bukayo Saka, 7: Excellent finish, controlling his volley into the far corner, having missed a couple of good chances in the box moments earlier.
Morgan Rogers, 5: A header was sent just wide in an otherwise quiet display. Did he do enough to keep Bellingham out of the squad for Sunday’s match in Albania?
Marcus Rashford, 7: England’s biggest threat in the first half was a clever piece of passing play with Rice almost leading to a goal, before a lovely nutmeg on the byline. Whatever he tried did not succeed, but he definitely tried.
harry kane7: There were some moments of high quality from the captain, including some attractive crossfield balls from Saka, who set up one-on-one dribbles down the right, but there were no goals tonight after a good chance was missed from a corner.
substitute player
Jude Bellingham, 6: Brought energy and a few moments of spark in the final third, but couldn’t find his clean touch or lethal final ball.
Phil Foden, 7: Performed well in the false nine role after replacing Kane in the second half. A good opportunity was missed before Eze headed for his goal.
King’s mercy, 8: There were one or two bright moments off the bench, including a stabbed shot that was saved off the bar, before a wonderful first-time curling finish into the top corner to wrap up the game.
Jordan Henderson, 7: Pulled the strings with England’s deep midfield role.
Adam Wharton, 6: Only a few minutes, but Ball looked classy and expect more minutes in Albania on Sunday.
