Who swaggered around like he owned the place? Spain v England ratings

Starting XI:Unai Simon: Made some brilliant saves early in the first half but still conceded three. 7Marc Pubill: Had a bright 20 minutes against Anthony Gordon until he came off injured. 6Pau Cubarsi: Gave away the penalty that Harry Kane scored for England's opener. 5Aymeric Laporte: Always under pressure against Kane but came into the game more as the England striker dropped deeper after the sending off. 7Marc Cucarella: Tried to get under Morgan Rogers' skin and kept him fairly quiet. 6 Martin Zubimendi: Made some decent challenges. 6Fabian Ruiz: Made little impact in midfield before he came off at half-time. 5 Mikel Merino: The Arsenal midfielder was ineffective and quiet for the first half - and then taken off at half-time. 5Lamine Yamal: Lewis Hall and Jarell Quansah has to double up to contain him. Moments of brilliance throughout. 8 Alex Baena: The Atletico Madrid forward made some decent runs into the box. 7Mikel Oyarzabal: Scored Spain's penalty to make it 3-1. Relatively quiet other than that. 7Substitutes:Pedro Porro (on 20, Pubill): Worked hard against Gordon. Had a great chance against James Trafford. 7Dean Huijsen (on 46, Cubarsi): Struggled initially against Kane but coped better after Elliot Anderson was sent off. 6Pedri (on 46, Fabien Ruiz): Constructive and rarely wasted a pass. 8Fermin Lopez (on 46, Merino) Very good and linked up with Yamal well. 8Nico Williams (on 71, Zubimendi) Made an immediate impact with a goal and constantly a threat. 8Subs not used: Barrios, Garcia, Munoz, Pino, Raya, Roca, TorresStarting XI:James Trafford: Had little to do until Quansah's error led to Oyarzabal's successful penalty but made crucial saves in closing stages to see England home. 8Ben White: That is one way to silence the boo-boys! Marked his first international start since March 2022 with a brilliant all-round display and the eventual winner. 8Ezri Konsa: Returned to the side after missing Croatia game through injury and proved just how important he has become. Colossal. 8Jarell Quansah: Was having a good night until making the mistake that led to Spain's opener from the spot and Anderson's red card. 5Lewis Hall: Growing in stature at international level. Excelled in the attacking third and battled well against Yamal. 8Elliot Anderson: Utterly brilliant until being shown a red card in trying to clear up Quansah's mess. Desperately unlucky. 8Declan Rice: Organised and drove the team forward - all while on an early yellow card. Delivered the corner for England's second. 8Jude Bellingham: In his adopted city, the Real Madrid midfielder swaggered around like he owned the place. Oozed quality. 9Morgan Rogers: A disciplined display from the Chelsea forward and still created Spain problems in forward areas. 8Anthony Gordon: A nuisance for Spain in every area of the field but dalliance in possession led to host's second to set up anxious finish. 6Harry Kane: Won and dispatched England's penalty and Spain could not live with his intelligence at times. Sacrificed following Anderson's red card. 7Substitutes:Myles Lewis-Skelly (on 78, Kane). 6Dominic Calvert-Lewin (on 84, Gordon)Djed Spence (on 84, Bellingham)Dan Burn (on 90, White)Subs not used: Pickford, Steele, Hill, Alexander-Arnold, Gibbs-White, Jobe Bellingham, Eze, Ngumoha.
