PLAYER RATINGS: Marcus Rashford was a thorn in Romania's side

  /  autty

Marcus Rashford scored the only goal from the penalty spot as England took a 1-0 victory over Romania in their last warm-up match for Euro 2020

It was a good performance by the Manchester United star in his first match as England captain as other players also caught the eye.

James Ward-Prowse staked his claim to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold in the England squad, while after a sloppy start Tyrone Mings recovered well in the second-half.

Sportsmail's Sami Mokbel rated the players on Sunday night.

ENGLAND  (4-2-3-1)

Sam Johnstone - Solid on his debut and made a brilliant save late on to keep England on course for victory. 7

Ben Godfrey - Showed his versatility by filling in at right-back. Will now leave the England camp but an international career lies ahead. 6.5

Ben White - Followed up his comfortable debut against Austria with another composed display one his first England start. 6.5

Tyrone Mings - Recovered from a sloppy start to produce a couple of excellent blocks to ensure England’s victory. 6.5

Luke Shaw - His re-emergence has been a huge bonus for Southgate. Will be an intriguing race to see if he can pip Ben Chilwell to starting against Croatia. 7

Jack Grealish - Was, again, the man to help England unlock the door. Has done all he can to start the Euros. 7

Kalvin Phillips - Got a valuable 45 minutes under his belt following a shoulder injury. Could start against Croatia. 6.5

James Ward-Prowse - His delivery from set plays was a potent threat for England. Will be a hopeful he can take Trent Alexander-Arnold’s place. 7

Marcus Rashford - A thorn in Romania’s side throughout and scored England’s winner from the spot on the day he captained England for the first time. 7.5

Dominic Calvert-Lewin - His aerial presence caused Romania problems. Won England’s second penalty, that was missed by Jordan Henderson. 7

Jadon Sancho - Finished the Bundesliga season strongly and continued his good form here but will likely start the tournament from as a sub. 7

Subs: Henderson 6 (Phillips 46), Rice 6 (Ward-Prowse 65); Bellingham 6.5 (Sancho 65); Trippier (Shaw 75); Lingard (Rashford 75); Watkins (Calvert-Lewin 82)

Subs: Pickford, Ramsdale, D Henderson, Trippier, Coady, Kane, Rice.

Gareth Southgate - A strange team selection but will be happy with his players’ output and having no new injuries to contend with. 6.5

ROMANIA (4-1-4-1)

Romania: Nita 7.5; Deian Cristian 6 (Capusa 66, 6), Nedelcearu 6.5 (Rus 84), Chiriches 6.5, Camora 6.5; Stanciu 6.5, Marin 6.5, Cicaldau 6.5 (Budescu 80); Ivan 6.5, Ajibec 6.5 (Hagi 66, 6), Paun 6.5 (Baluta 80). Subs: Vlad, Iacob, Ganea, Maxim, Morutan, Olaru,.

Radoi: 6

Referee: Tiago Martins (POR) - Kept the game moving but had little to trouble him. 6
