Phil Foden, Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane were on target as England beat Scotland 3-1 at Hampden Park; the hosts pulled a goal back through Harry Maguire's own goal but were poor on the night; Bellingham was the player of the match

Could do little about any of England's goals but produced a fine save when given a better chance by substitute Eberechi Eze in the second half and also denied Jude Bellingham smartly at his near post.
Produced an excellent piece of defending early on to prevent Harry Kane from running through on goal. Otherwise kept busy by Marcus Rashford on England's left flank.
Struggled to cope with Kane and the runners either side of him. Made an important early clearance from a Kyle Walker cross but got sucked out of position in the build-up to England's opener, leaving Rashford free in the centre of the box. Poor from then on.
Defended diligently but spent much of the game chasing shadows. Booked for a foul on Bukayo Saka after his Arsenal team-mate got the better of him.
Like Porteous, he had a difficult time up against the rampaging Rashford, with England finding plenty of space on his side, particularly during the first half. Enjoyed some attacking forays in the second half but didn't really threaten.

Outstanding the last time these two sides met, at Euro 2020, but struggled to get a foothold in the game this time around against the superior physicality of Declan Rice, Kalvin Phillips and Jude Bellingham. Replaced by Lyndon Dykes on the hour mark.
