Gareth Southgate's side clinched their place at the global tournament with a comfortable victory over the Baltic side on the midweek fixture.

The Starting Lineup

• England's number one – Pulled off a few of fine saves in the latter period to preserve his impressive clean sheet streak. It's now nine in a row. 6.5
• The defender – Seems at home in international football seamlessly. Sterner tests lie ahead, of course, but a good start to his England career. 7
• The defender – Two matches in a short span will do the Manchester City defender a world of good. Remains one of the automatic picks on the team-sheet, fitness permitting. 7
• Ezri Konsa – Picked ahead of his competitor and performed solidly. Made an excellent last-ditch recovery tackle in the second half to boot. 7
• Myles Lewis-Skelly – Looked a somewhat not at his best at times, understandable given his scarce minutes at his club. An intriguing few months ahead. 6
• Elliott Anderson – Seems irreplaceable in this England team at the moment. Seems tailored for this level and has formed an productive partnership with Rice. 7
• Arsenal's engine – Thriving in his number eight role. The mainstay of England's midfield is demonstrating his creative abilities now. Becoming a real all-round midfielder. 7
• The attacker – Quieter as he has been in England's victories over other teams. The answer will come next month who is the true owner of the number 10 shirt. 6
• The winger – Contributed an setup to his superb goal against Wales last Thursday. Will be key to England's hopes next summer. 7.5
• The captain – At his peak. Took his count for the season to 20 goals. Has hit the back of the net 76 goals for his country. Is 100 possible 100? 8
• The forward – Precise finish to open the scoring for England here in away. Has performed admirably during this international window. 7.5

The Bench Players

• The experienced midfielder (for Rice 60) – Kept things moving in midfield. 6
• Crystal Palace's star (for Rogers 60) – Well-executed goal and a danger. 7
• Jarrod Bowen (for Saka 60) – Faces competition on his hands to be selected when all are available. 6
• Newcastle's full-back (for Stones 71) – Predictably, handled everything with his height. 6
• Marcus Rashford (for Gordon 71) – One pacy run down the left stood out. 6

After qualification secured, the squad can now prepare for the World Cup with high hopes.
