Belgium 2-0 England: Player ratings as Jack Grealish stands out on competitive debut

WB: Kieran Trippier 

Another credible performance for his 69 minutes on the field. Was effective in the first half as he got down the flank, playing some nice passes and crosses into the box – notably the one to Grealish whose goal-bound shot was blocked – 6.5

WB: Ben Chilwell 

Had a slow start but was starting to get into the game more when he was struck down with an injury on 38 minutes – 5

MF: Declan Rice

Seems to be growing into this position after every game for England. Was unfortunate in giving away the free-kick for the second goal as won the ball but maybe a lesson he needs to learn in international football. Made some decent interceptions but passing was a mixed bag – 6.5

MF: Jordan Henderson

Was trying to get on the ball and make a difference but didn’t impact the game as he would’ve liked. Gave away the ball a couple of times when looking to play forward as England struggled for creativity in the middle of the park. Taken off at half time – 5.5
