The national team earned their place at the global tournament with a convincing triumph over the Baltic side on the midweek fixture.

The Starting Lineup

• England's number one – Made a few of good saves in the latter period to maintain his remarkable clean sheet record. That's nine consecutive in a row. 6.5
• The full-back – Has taken to international football with ease. More challenging tests are coming, of course, but a promising start to his England career. 7
• Manchester City's centre-back – Two games in five days will do the Manchester City defender a great benefit. Still one of the key players on the starting lineup, fitness permitting. 7
• The centre-back – Chosen ahead of the other option and didn't put a foot wrong. Made an excellent last-ditch recovery tackle in the second half to boot. 7
• Arsenal's talent – Looked a somewhat ring rusty at times, expected given his lack of action at his club. An interesting few months ahead. 6
• The midfielder – Appears undroppable in this England team at the moment. Appears suited to this level and has struck up an strong partnership with Rice. 7
• The midfielder – Thriving in his attacking role. The mainstay of England's midfield is showing his attacking abilities now. Developing into a real all-round midfielder. 7
• Morgan Rogers – Less influential as he has been in England's wins over previous opponents. It will be revealed next month who is the rightful holder of the number 10 shirt. 6
• The winger – Provided an setup to his brilliant goal against Wales last Thursday. Will be vital to England's chances next summer. 7.5
• The captain – Playing brilliantly. Boosted his total for the season to 20 strikes. Has scored 76 goals for his country. Will he achieve 100? 8
• Anthony Gordon – Clinical finish to start things off for England here in the Latvian capital. Has performed admirably during this international window. 7.5

Subs' Impact

• The experienced midfielder (for Rice 60) – Kept things moving in midfield. 6
• Crystal Palace's star (for Rogers 60) – Excellently taken goal and a danger. 7
• West Ham's attacker (for Saka 60) – Faces competition on his hands to make the squad when everyone's fit. 6
• Newcastle's full-back (for Stones 71) – As you'd expect, handled everything aerially. 6
• Marcus Rashford (for Gordon 71) – A quick burst down the left was noticeable. 6

After a World Cup spot confirmed, England can now focus for next summer with high hopes.
