According to the match protocol, England's goals were scored by Anthony Gordon in the 26th minute, Harry Kane in the 44th and 45th minutes, Maksim Tonishyev in the 58th minute, and Eberechi Eze in the 86th minute. The England national team dominated the match and delivered precise shots on the opponent's goal.
Anthony Gordon was rated 7 points in the match. He tried to strengthen his position on the left wing attack.
However, he mainly needs to improve his accuracy in delivering passes to Harry Kane. Only one out of his eight passes was accurate.
Nevertheless, Gordon opened the scoring and provided two important assists. Despite losing the ball twice during dribbling, this was considered a minor flaw.
Harry Kane received 8.5 points. He returned to the field and scored two goals in the first half of the game.
One was from outside the penalty area, and the other was from a penalty kick. Kane not only made eight accurate shots on goal but also demonstrated two successful dribbles.
He stood out with his activity on the field. Elliot Anderson received the highest rating with 9 points.
From his heat map, it is clear that he spent much time in the opponent's half and directed his team's play. He made over 150 touches, completed 121 accurate passes, intercepted the ball three times, and recovered possession eleven times.
Anderson showed the team's spirit in midfield. These ratings were given only for the match against the Latvia national team.
These evaluations reflect the strong performance of the England national team and increase their confidence in qualifying for the World Cup. The team demonstrates effectiveness in attack and solidity in defense.
They are expected to play at this level in upcoming matches as well.
