Rating the England players from a game in which Harry Maguire had the joint-most shots:
Always nice to have a real-life and accurate example of ‘Uh, no, they’re saying Boo-urns’. Genuinely quite jarring to hear Wembley greet his substitution as such until the realisation hit that they were just saying his first name in unison. Bellingham’s early pressing was excellent and panicked Ukraine into plenty of mistakes, including for a Kane chance the midfielder set up at 2-0.
Vitaliy Mykolenko will not forget his evening quickly as the Everton full-back often requested and always required more assistance down his side. Saka played Kane in with a lovely flick for the penalty shout, then combined really well with Henderson. But it was when he bypassed the typical move of running to the byline and cutting back for Henderson to cross that England had their breakthrough. Saka instead cut inside and created a morsel of space himself to find the striker.
After ending the first half tracking further back to tackle Mudryk, Kane spent the majority of the second putting on an exhibition in exquisite hold and link-up play and even had the rare joy of being able to nip in the shower before everyone else. Did not take it because he is a classy pro. Also did not misplace a single pass in 81 minutes.An unspectacular but solid full debut. Tested Stepanenko’s poor 33-year-old ankles with a lovely sharp turn, eliciting the mildest of Wembley whoops.
