England 2-0 Panama – PLAYER RATINGS: Who gets 9/10 after showing star quality? Who is still way below his best? And who proved they should start in the knockouts?

England are into the World Cup knockout rounds as group winners after Jude Bellingham‘s masterful second-half display finally ground down Panama. 

Thomas Tuchel went for it in New Jersey, making five changes to the starting lineup that drew 0-0 with Ghana, including first starts for Bukayo Saka, Morgan Rogers, Marcus Rashford and Jarell Quansah.

And while the first half was another tough assignment for the Three Lions, after the break Bellingham turned in from Saka’s corner and then set up Harry Kane for his record-breaking 11th England World Cup goal to put Panama to bed.
