England 2-0 Andorra: his goal in the first half and Declan Rice Header guaranteed the victory of Thomas Thoushell’s men at Villa Park, but once again the three Lions wanted more fans against the European minnow
England continued their walks towards the next summer’s World Cup, beating Andorra 2-0 at Villa Park. But again, Thomas Touchel’s men were unable to find inspiration.
The three Lions scored in half the half, where Christian Garcia gave him a half-time lead before Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice.
It was possible they left late for the host, but it was another frustrating watch. Yes, it’s done work and has four wins from four in World Cup qualifiers. But in Serbia on Tuesday night, they need to improve significantly to be a much harder test. This is the player rating for Villa Park…

England (4-3-3)
Jordan Pickford 6
Mostly the audience, but at least he was busy with suspicious backpasses.
Reese James 7
Without a doubt, Chuchel’s first choice and his cross showed why.
Marc Guehi 6
After his chaotic week, he needed an afternoon break. I was able to lift his legs.
Dan Byrne 6
It looks very comfortable and is clearly one of Chuchel’s favorites. Solid display.
Miles Lewis Skelly 6
It hadn’t started for Arsenal and didn’t really take his chances.
Elliot Anderson 8 Motm
England’s best player. A very impressive debut with an excellent audition for the role of No. 6.
Declan Rice 7
They scored with a neatly acquired header to lift the mood in the second half.
Eberechi Eze 6
He’s a little smarter and wasted some big opportunities. Amazing display.
Noni Maduke 7
There is liveliness to the right. He’s definitely nailing the World Cup location.
Marcus Rashford 6
It started well, but it disappeared. He missed a big opportunity in the second half.
Harry Kane 6
He must have thought he would achieve some goals, but he was almost annoyed.
