ENGLAND PLAYER RATINGS: Raheem Sterling terrorised Poland, while John Stones made another error

  /  autty

England ended their international break by maintaining their 100 per cent World Cup qualifying campaign record following a narrow 2-1 win against Poland on Wednesday night.

Harry Maguire proved the Three Lions' hero with a late strike after Poland's Jakub Moder cancelled out Harry Kane's first-half penalty.

Sportsmail's SAMI MOKBEL provides his ratings between the two teams.

ENGLAND (4-3-3)

Nick Pope - 6

Still looks rather uncomfortable with the ball at his feet. Will go to the Euros as Jordan Pickford's deputy.

Kyle Walker - 6.5

Could have made better use of the ball but still a strong display down England's right side.

Harry Maguire - 7

Came up trumps for his team when they were running out of ideas. Big player, big goal.

John Stones - 6

Not for the first time, a mistake cost his team dear but he showed character to set-up England's winner.

Ben Chilwell - 6.5

An energetic display for from the left back. Saw plenty of the ball down his flank and used it well.

Kalvin Phillips - 6.5

A third successive start for the Leeds midfielder. Appears to be a shoo-in for the Euros squad. Economical in possession.

Declan Rice - 7.5

Arguably England's first-choice holding central midfielder. Has grown in stature for club and country this season.

Mason Mount - 7

Was a doubt heading into the game but still caused Poland problems with his poise and probing.

Phil Foden - 6.5

Didn't see as much as of the ball as he'd have liked but hardly gave away a pass in possession.

Harry Kane - 6.5

Another goal closer to breaking Wayne Rooney's goalscoring record but cut a frustrated figure for much of this.

Raheem Sterling - 7.5

Terrorised the Poles, who had no answer to the Manchester City star's dynamism at times.

Subs: James (Foden 86); Calvert-Lewin (Kane 88); Lingard (Sterling 88)

Subs not used: Henderson, Johnstone, Trippier, Coady, Dier, Mings, Shaw, Watkins, Bellingham.

Manager: Gareth Southgate - 7

His team appeared to be strolling to victory until Stones' error. The England boss won't be satisfied with this.

Poland (3-4-3): Szczesny 6.5; Bednarek 7, Glik 7, Helik 6.5 (Jozwiak 55, 6.5); Bereszynski 6.5, Krychowiak 7, Moder 7, Rybus 6.5 (Reca 86); Swiderski 6 (Milik 46, 6,5 booked), Piatek 6.5 (Augustyniak 77), Zielinski 6 (Grosicki 86).

Subs not used: Niemczycki, Fabiański, Kowalczyk, Dawidowicz, Kozlowski,, Piacheta, Szymański.

Manager: Sousa - 6.5

Referee: Bjorn Kuipers (Holland) - 6

A relatively straightforward game for the Dutchman to control in England's last game at Wembley before the Euros.

Man of the Match: Sterling
