Gareth Southgate's side clinched their spot at the global tournament with a decisive triumph over the Baltic side on Tuesday evening.

The Starting Lineup

• Jordan Pickford – Pulled off a few of excellent saves in the latter period to extend his remarkable clean sheet run. That's nine straight in a row. 6.5
• Djed Spence – Has taken to international football with ease. More challenging tests are coming, of course, but a positive start to his England career. 7
• The defender – A pair of fixtures in a short span will do the Manchester City defender a great benefit. Remains one of the first names on the team-sheet, fitness permitting. 7
• Ezri Konsa – Selected ahead of the other option and performed solidly. Made an excellent last-ditch recovery tackle in the closing period to boot. 7
• Arsenal's talent – Appeared a slightly off the pace at times, understandable given his scarce minutes at Arsenal. An promising few months ahead. 6
• Elliott Anderson – Looks essential in this England team at the moment. Looks suited to this level and has developed an productive partnership with Rice. 7
• Arsenal's engine – Excelling in his number eight role. The pillar of England's midfield is displaying his creative abilities now. Becoming a real all-round midfielder. 7
• Morgan Rogers – Less influential as he has been in England's successes over Serbia and Wales. We should find out next month who is the true owner of the number 10 shirt. 6
• Bukayo Saka – Added an setup to his brilliant goal against Wales last Thursday. Will be vital to England's chances next summer. 7.5
• The striker – Playing brilliantly. Boosted his tally for the season to 20 strikes. Has found the net 76 times for his country. Will he achieve 100? 8
• Newcastle's attacker – Clinical finish to get the ball rolling for England here in away. Has acquitted himself well during this fixture period. 7.5

England Substitutes

• The veteran (for Rice 60) – Maintained the tempo in midfield. 6
• The playmaker (for Rogers 60) – Well-executed goal and a threat. 7
• Jarrod Bowen (for Saka 60) – Faces competition on his hands to earn a place when all are available. 6
• The defender (for Stones 71) – Typically, handled everything aerially. 6
• Manchester United's star (for Gordon 71) – One pacy run down the left stood out. 6

After their place secured, the squad can now prepare for the upcoming tournament with optimism.
