GREAL DEAL
SunSport’s Duncan Wright has delivered his England player ratings…
SAM JOHNSTONE – 7 Wayward early kick, but couple of smart low saves on debut. Then saved well with his feet – before stunning stop to deny equaliser.
BEN GODFREY – 6 Capable display at the back, pushed forward to link up in attack. Steady full debut overall.
BEN WHITE – 7 Calm in possession, looked more assured than defensive partner Mings. Impressive full debut.
TYRONE MINGS – 5 Lapse in concentration in first 30 seconds highlighted fears about ability at highest level. Didn’t improve much afterwards.
LUKE SHAW – 6 Switched off twice to allow Romania in, pushed forward at every possibility. Steady without impressing.
KALVIN PHILLIPS – 6 Pressured well out of possession, quiet on the ball. Went about job without fuss and will be reliable if needed.
JAMES WARD-PROWSE – 8 Busy on and off the ball, excellent in possession and made late claim to manager for selection. Set piece delivery an added bonus.
JADON SANCHO – 7 Looked dangerous from the off, unlucky with shot against bar. Came short too often as England struggled to create.
JACK GREALISH – 8 Ignored the rough challenges to grow in influence, won the penalty and looked biggest threat for England.
MARCUS RASHFORD – 6 Not helped by making runs but not being spotted. Shot wide after one trademark burst, but held nerve to score from spot.
DOMINIC CALVERT-LEWIN – 6 Unlucky with fine header against bar, but should have scored from close range in second half. Quiet display.
