Nick Pope Will never have a quieter night in England’s colours, or anyone else’s, but distributed accurately. 6 Ben White Did well enough in 45 minutes at right-back under limited examination. One glorious chipped pass to Sterling. 6 Harry Maguire Booed by a few at the start, but brought ball out of defence consummately to set second goal in motion. Secure against limp opponents. 7 Tyrone Mings Not an occasion to answer questions about his defensive worth, but capped the night with a towering header. 7 Tyrick Mitchell Dealt comfortably with potentially tricky customer in Pépé on his first start and came close to scoring with an angled strike. 7 James Ward-Prowse Should have had a set-piece assist for Rice and shaved the bar with cracking long-range effort after the break. 7 Declan Rice Offers so much drive with Bellingham, as early run and shot showed, but should have scored free header. Sumptuous passing range. 7 Jude Bellingham Staked a serious claim with vision and penetration on the ball, along with clever pressing off it. Hit post after slick move. Player of the match. 8 Raheem Sterling Trickery and tenacity laid goal on plate for Watkins; scored himself in aftermath of his own excellent run and shot. Fine display. 8 Ollie Watkins Willing and inventive runner up front who showed predatory instincts to open the scoring from Sterling’s centre. 7 Jack Grealish At the heart of some intricate, purposeful England moves. Teed up Bellingham chance and smart first-time assist for Sterling. 7 Substitutes Kyle Walker-Peters (for White, 45) Lost his man when Deli missed Ivory Coast’s only chance. 5 Luke Shaw (for Mitchell, 62) Tidy enough but cheap free-kick could have cost goal. 6 Emile Smith Rowe (for Grealish, 62) Missed late chance in rare moment of excitement after break. 6 Harry Kane (for Watkins, 62) Tiniest late glimpse of a 50th goal eluded him. 6 Phil Foden (for Sterling, 62) A couple of delightful touches and a searching corner for Mings goal. 7 Conor Gallagher (for Ward-Prowse, 80) Glimmers of energy but little time to make impact. 6
