England 4-0 Iceland PLAYER RATINGS: Foden excels while Mount impresses

  /  autty

England ended their Nations League campaign with a 4-0 victory over Iceland, with Declan Rice and Mason Mount scoring before Phil Foden hit a brace.

Iceland were reduced to ten men in the 54th minute when Birkir Saevarsson was sent off.

Here's how each player rated in the clash at Wembley.

ENGLAND (3-4-3) Average: 7.2

Jordan Pickford - 7

Confidence-boosting night began with a decisive early punch. His distribution was excellent.

Kyle Walker - 7

Booked for a shuddering tackle in the first half but that was the only blemish as he cruised through.

Eric Dier - 6.5

Steady in the middle of the back three, played like an old-fashioned sweeper, organising from deep.

Harry Maguire - 7

Caught the eye with three bold runs in the first half which were straight out of a wing back’s book.

Kieran Trippier - 7

Constant source of energy, one jet-heeled burst to recover the ball in second half caught the eye.

Declan Rice - 7

First international goal broke the deadlock and enjoyed being alongside childhood friend Mount.

Mason Mount - 8

Goal capped a polished display and rewarding week; passing and movement was excellent.

Bukayo Saka - 7.5

Performance will give Southgate much to consider in terms of who will fill this role; he was excellent.

Phil Foden - 9

He is a beautiful footballer, so elegant and dangerous. Iceland didn’t know how to contain him.

Harry Kane - 6.5

Six England games without a goal now. Will have wondered how one first-half shot failed to go in.

Jack Grealish - 7

Not as dynamic as in Leuven but still threatening. Had heavy treatment and was substituted.

SUBSTITUTES

Winks 6 (for Mount 64min), Mings 6 (for Walker 64), Abraham 6 (for Kane 76), Sancho (for Grealish 76), Maitland-Niles (for Trippier 85). Subs not used: D Henderson, Pope, Keane, Chilwell, Calvert-Lewin, J Henderson, Bellingham.

ICELAND (5-3-2): Kristinsson 6 (Halldorsson 46, 6); Saevarsson 5, Ingason 6, Arnason 6, Hermannsson 6, AF Skulason 6; Palsson 6, Bjarnason 6 (Johannesson 88), Sigurjonsson 6, (Eyjolfsson 62, 6); Gudmundsson 6 (Thorsteinsson 73, 6), Bodvarsson 6 (Sigthorsson 73, 6).
