England Player Ratings: Vardy shines, Kane, Alli and Dier all impress in famous win
EXPRESS SPORT brings you England's player ratings as Roy Hodgson's men secure a famous 3-2 win against Germany.
Eric Dier celebrates after scoring the winning goal for England
ENGLAND (4-3-3):
JACK BUTLAND 5
Injured in a hurried clearance before conceding goal inside near post before being stretchered off.
NATHANIEL CLYNE 6
Brilliant cross for Vardy goal but was otherwise indecisive on the ball and drifted out of position.
GARY CAHILL 5
Lacked confidence with positioning and lost Gomez for second goal. It’s been a hard season for him.
CHRIS SMALLING 6
Generally looked composed at the heart of defence but still prone to the odd lapse of judgment.
DANNY ROSE 6
All at sea for “offside” goal but vital block with last touch of first half. System bit restrictive for him.
JORDAN HENDERSON 7
Nearly snatched a winner himself and set up Dier’s effort with a corner. Needs more of that influence.
ERIC DIER 8
Tackled eagerly but clumsily, passing could do with a polish. Oh and he scored a winner against Germany!
Jamie Vardy scored a stunning goal in Berlin
ADAM LALLANA 7
Useful set-piece delivery and was more of his terrier-like self when pressing the German defence.
DANNY WELBECK 6
Took too long over chance in 38th minute and clearly lacks match fitness. Undercurrent of class, though.
HARRY KANE 8
Picked German pockets with great goal in a manner befitting a man wearing a mask. World class goal.
DELE ALLI 8
Once again one of England’s brightest sparks – if only he’d kept calm with that late chance. Booked.
Harry Kane started the comeback for England
SUBSTITUTES:
FRASER FORSTER (for Butland, 45) 6
Tipped awkward, bouncing Reus free-kick over bar but was left with no chance for the German goal.
JAMIE VARDY (for Welbeck, 71) 9
Pace… finishing… Do it against Germany, you can do it against anybody. Proper contender now.
ROSS BARKLEY (for Lallana, 71) N/A
GERMANY: Neuer, Can, Rudiger, Hummels, Hector; Muller (Podolski 75), Khedira, Reus (Schurrle 64), Kroos; Gomez (Gotze 79), Ozil. Booked: Can. Goals: Kroos 43, Gomez 57.
