England finished top of Group L after Jude Bellingham inspired a 2-0 win over Panama – but Thomas Tuchel still has issues to solve heading into the knockout stages.
Tuchel made five changes from the disappointing 0-0 draw against Ghana with Jarell Quansah, Nico O’Reilly, Marcus Rashford, Morgan Rogers and Bukayo Saka handed starts, although it was his main men, Bellingham and Harry Kane, that made the difference in New Jersey with second-half goals.
After the hamstring injury to Reece James, Tuchel has a problem at right-back while his wingers are yet to sparkle on either side of Kane.
Following a mixed performance against Panama, Sky Sports rates every player’s contribution…
Jordan Pickford – 7
Alert early on to gather a shot within seconds of kick-off and then parried well at his near post later in the first half. No issues with his handling but a passing accuracy of 76 per cent was his lowest so far. A second consecutive clean sheet and his best performance of the group stage.
Jarell Quansah – 4
Under pressure to replace the injured Reece James at right-back and didn’t step up to the task.
Took too long over a sixth-minute throw-in, forcing the referee to overturn it, and his performance didn’t improve from there. Looked unsteady throughout the first half, being caught out of position on one occasion that allowed Jose Rodrigues a dangerous shot on goal.
Rolled his right ankle on the hour mark after being booked, which brought an early end to his disappointing evening.
Ezri Konsa – 6
Lost a header inside 10 seconds that allowed Panama to have a shot on goal, setting the tone for a nervy first-half performance, not helped by the overawed Quansah alongside him.
The Aston Villa defender completed all but one of his 71 passes and he settled down after the break, looking more assured to be part of a second consecutive clean sheet. However, his position at centre-back remains under threat from John Stones.
Marc Guehi – 6
Struggled in the first half alongside his shaky centre-back partner, with the England defence often exposed to Panama’s counter-attack.
Looked much more like himself in the second half, a calm and composed presence sweeping up danger, although was fortunate Panama’s late goal was ruled out for offside.
Has surely locked down the left centre-back position heading into the knockout stage.
Nico O’Reilly – 7
England’s best defender on the night. A much-improved performance from his difficult evening against Croatia. Locked down the left-hand side and raided forward into promising positions, flicking a header at goal during the first half.
Did his defensive work diligently and will be buoyed by this display in his first major tournament.
Elliot Anderson – 6
Another industrious effort from the soon-to-be £116m midfielder. Showed again his ball-winning capabilities as he tried to shield England’s back four on his own.
Tried to get the ball moving forward as much as he could as to break through Panama’s low block.
Jude Bellingham – 9
Stood up once again when England needed him the most.
Was everywhere in the first-half and delivered the decisive moments in the second, scoring the opener and setting up Harry Kane’s second as England battled to victory.
There was talk before the tournament that he wasn’t even going to start in this team, but there’s every reason to argue that he’s the first name on Tuchel’s team sheet now.
Bukayo Saka – 6
Showed some promising moments but is he still struggling for fitness?
Far from his brilliant best, lacking an end product and faded as the game went on, although provided the assist from a corner for Bellingham’s opener.
Morgan Rogers – 5
Particularly struggled in the first half to find space operating in the No 10 role and had little influence as the game went on.
Some promising link-up with Saka down the right at times but he will be disappointed to have not shown more when given the chance to start. A missed opportunity.
Marcus Rashford – 7
Had plenty of opportunities to impact the game after replacing Anthony Gordon in the starting XI and was lively throughout, but much like Saka, lacked an end product.
Wasted two good chances in the first half and things did not improve in front of goal as the game went on, yet kept going until the end and has given Tuchel a decision to make.
Harry Kane – 7
A bystander for much of the first half and had just 25 touches in total, but was in the right place at the right time to convert Bellingham’s inch-perfect cross to score his 11th World Cup goal to break Gary Lineker’s record. Wasted a big chance earlier in the second half when through on goal.
Substitutes
Djed Spence – 6
Forced into action on the hour mark after Quansah exited in discomfort. Beaten in the air a couple of times but made some promising forward runs, even if final ball was lacking.
Noni Madueke – 5
Another man for the hour but made little impact. Pace offered Pickford a promising outlet but first touch and ball found wanting.
Eberechi Eze – 5
Given the last 20 minutes for Bellingham after Kane provided the goal cushion. Scrapped in the closing stages but barely got on the ball.
Ollie Watkins – N/A
On late for Kane to get some minutes in his legs with England’s job finally done.
Jordan Henderson – N/A
Only a brief cameo but took the armband and made history, becoming the first player to feature for England at seven major tournaments.
