Jordan Pickford (goalkeeper) - 6

Had his nervy moments but his work and distribution are now crucial to England.

Your rating: 6.37

Kyle Walker (right-back) - 7

Pace and a real attacking option as he rises to the challenge of Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Your rating: 6.24

Joe Gomez (centre-back) - 8

Man of the match. Composure and pace. How can he be left out now? Long throw led to goal.

John Stones (centre-back) - 7

Steady alongside Gomez. An outstanding partnership in the making.

Your rating: 6.53

Ben Chilwell (left-back) - 7

Your rating: 6.42

Fabian Delph (midfielder) - 7

Outstanding in the first half but faded.

Eric Dier (midfielder) - 5

Poor performance and was dawdling in his area for Croatia's goal even if the deflection was unlucky.

Disappointing and no surprise when he was substituted.

Your rating: 5.85

Missed chances, but like the best strikers delivered when it mattered for England.

Lots of dangerous running and it was a surprise when he was substituted.
