England player ratings: three stars shine against wales


Play all audios:


England ran out 3-0 winners over Wales in a friendly match at Wembley Stadium thanks to goals from Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Conor Coady and Danny Ings and Express Sport looks how the


individual players fared. ENGLAND (3-4-3) POPE 7 Brave save from Moore early on and managed to avoid dropping any bricks. GOMEZ 6 Still looked a bit wobbly early on after a poor weekend.


Improved as game went on. KEANE 6 Better performance but always looks like he is not quite what is needed at this level. COADY 8 Scored for England at Wembley and ended up with the


captain's armband. Quite a second cap. TRIPPIER 7 Proud captain's delivery for the second goal was a reminder from La Liga of what he can do. WINKS 6 Tidied up neatly enough but


needed to channel more forward passes to Ings and Grealish. PHILLIPS 7 Provided plenty of bustle and is growing into the role with more Premier League experience. SAKA 6 Very nervy start


defensively but recovered when given freedom to attack more. INGS 7 An overhead kick is an overhead kick. Showed great invention to claim his goal. CALVERT-LEWIN 8 What a perfect way to


announce his arrival on the international stage. Strong debut. GREALISH 8 Shrugged off obvious injury to be England's most creative player – not least cross for first goal. SUBS MOUNT


(for Calvert-Lewin 58) 7 JAMES (for Trippier 58) 6 MINGS (for Gomez 58) 6 WARD-PROWSE (for Winks 76) MAITLAND-NILES (for Saka 76) BARNES (for Grealish 76) WALES (4-2-3-1) HENNESSEY 6 Some


brilliant saves but rather let down by his defenders with the marking for the goals. C ROBERTS 6 Ran tirelessly up and down the right flank with some intuitive passing at times. RODON 7


Looked strong for first 45 minutes, justifying the attention he is getting from Premier League clubs. MEPHAM 5 Got stuck into a proper battle with Calvert-Lewin but lost Coady for his goal.


DAVIES 6 Captain of his country and used set-pieces intelligently to put pressure on England. AMPADU 5 Needed to get closer to Grealish to block the cross for England's early goal.


MORRELL 6 Given just the first half, he battled hard for equality in the middle of the park. T ROBERTS 6 Not frightened to take on the England defence on his own, making the most of his


isolation. J WILLIAMS 7 The League 1 star seemed perfectly happy to mix it with his Premier League opponents. MATONDO 6 Relatively quiet and disappeared further as the game went on and


England took control. MOORE 6 Quite literally Wales' biggest threat before being forced off before half time with worrying injury. SUBS N WILLIAMS (for Moore 40) 6 LEVITT (for Rodon ht)


5 CABANGO (for Morrell ht) 5 VAULKS (for Ampadu 62) 6 GUNTER (for J Williams 73) SMITH (for C Roberts 73)
