England 3-0 Wales Player Ratings: Rogers Rated 8.5/10 as Early Strike Seals 3-0 Win

England came out of the blocks with a high intensity that simply blew their opponents away. After an early sighter from in-form Newcastle United forward Anthony Gordon forced a save, the resulting corner was dispatched with clinical precision. It was Sportsdunia's player of the match Morgan Rogers who was the hero, finding the back of the net.

After that, the match settled into a predictable pattern. England, marshalled superbly by their captain Declan Rice, controlled the tempo and possession with a professional air. Wales were left chasing shadows for large periods, unable to land a significant blow or truly test Jordan Pickford's goal. It was a tactical win, built on a foundation of early aggression and disciplined game management.

Here are England Player Ratings vs Wales

Goalkeeper

Jordan Pickford - 6.5: Honestly, he could have brought a deckchair for this one. Wales offered next to nothing going forward. He did what he had to, which was mostly watching his defenders dominate. His distribution was fine on the rare occasions he was involved. A straightforward clean sheet.

Defenders

Ezri Konsa - 7.0: A really solid and untroubled performance. From our perspective, he looked completely at ease on the international stage. He was tidy on the ball and didn't give the Welsh attackers a sniff. Very composed showing.

John Stones - 7.0: The usual cool, calm, and collected display from Stones. He read the game expertly, stepping out to intercept passes and starting attacks from the back. He made dealing with Kieffer Moore look easy. A walk in the park for a player of his calibre.

Marc Guéhi - 7.0: Formed a rock-solid partnership with Stones. What stood out to us was his quiet efficiency. He won his duels, was positionally sound and never looked flustered. Another player who looks destined for a long career in an England shirt.

Djed Spence - 6.5: A disciplined performance from the full-back. He picked his moments to venture forward but his primary job was defensive security, which he did well. He perhaps didn't show his full attacking potential, but it was a mature performance.

Midfielders

Declan Rice - 8.0: The captain ran the show. He was everywhere, breaking up the limited Welsh attacks before they could even start. His control of the midfield was absolute. He dictated the pace of the game and led by example. A dominant performance.

Bukayo Saka - 7.0: A livewire on the flank. His pace and directness were a constant menace. He lost the ball once early on but was otherwise a thorn in Wales' side. His final product wasn't always perfect, but his energy was infectious.

Morgan Rogers - 8.5: The match-winner and our clear man of the match. What a moment for him. He took his goal with the confidence of a seasoned pro, a sharp finish from the corner. He played with a swagger all night and was deservedly the hero.

Anthony Gordon - 7.5: Incredibly bright and dangerous from the first whistle. His early shot forced the corner that led to the goal. His aggressive running put Wales on the back foot immediately. He was a constant outlet for the team.

Elliot Anderson - 6.5: A neat and tidy performance. He kept the ball moving and played the simple passes well. He didn't set the world alight, but he was a reliable cog in the midfield machine. A solid, if unspectacular, outing.

Forwards

Ollie Watkins - 6.5: It was a frustrating night for him in front of goal. He worked tirelessly, pressing the Welsh defence and making clever runs to create space for others. However, he was starved of any real clear-cut chances himself. A selfless team performance.

Manager

T. Tuchel - 7.5: His game plan worked to perfection. The instruction to start fast paid off immediately with the early goal. From there, his side managed the game with a professional maturity that starved Wales of any hope. Job done.

Goalkeeper

Karl Darlow - 6.0: Made a decent save to deny Gordon, but was immediately beaten from the resulting corner. It's harsh to blame him entirely for the goal, but it's a moment he'll replay in his mind. He had little to do afterwards but the damage was done.

Defenders

Neco Williams - 5.5: He had a torrid time trying to contain England's dynamic wingers. He was often exposed and struggled to cope with the pace and movement. A really difficult evening for the full-back.

Ben Davies - 6.0: The captain was fighting a losing battle. He tried to rally his troops and organise the backline after the early shock. He put his body on the line as always, but it was an impossible task against England's fluid attack.

Ethan Ampadu - 5.5: We noticed he looked a bit off the pace. He was caught ball-watching for the crucial opening goal. While he made an interception, he was part of a defence that looked shell-shocked and never truly recovered.

Joe Rodon - 5.5: A tough night at the office for Rodon. He and Davies were overwhelmed by the movement of England's forwards. He struggled to get a foothold in the game and was constantly under pressure.

Jay Dasilva - 6.0: He showed one good moment with a solid tackle but was penned back for the vast majority of the game. He couldn't offer any threat going forward. It was a purely defensive brief for him, and a difficult one at that.

Midfielders

David Brooks - 5.0: We were so disappointed by his performance. He was completely invisible. Brooks is a player who should be influencing games, but he couldn't get on the ball or create anything of note. A really poor showing.

Harry Wilson - 5.5: Much like Brooks, he was a passenger for large parts of the game. He tried to find pockets of space but was expertly marshalled by Rice. A very frustrating experience for a player of his quality.

Liam Cullen - 5.5: Ran his socks off but spent the entire game chasing English shadows. He couldn't get close enough to disrupt their rhythm. A thankless task in a midfield that was completely overrun.

Brennan Johnson - 6.0: Wales' only real glimmer of hope. On the rare occasions he got the ball, he looked to run at the English defence. He was their most likely source of a spark, but was often isolated and outnumbered.

Forwards

Kieffer Moore - 5.5: A bruising and fruitless battle against Stones and Guehi. He was given absolutely no service and was physically dominated by the English centre-backs. He was left completely isolated up front.

Manager

C. Bellamy - 5.0: A night to forget for the manager. His team looked unprepared for England's fast start and were punished immediately. The passive setup invited pressure and they never laid a glove on their opponents. He has a lot to reflect on.
