Jordan Pickford – 7
A quiet afternoon for the Everton man, but he’d create one save soon after the breakup, repelling a Bulgaria equaliser to be prevented by a Marcelinho chance. He landed Harry Maguire in trouble with one loose pass after in the half, but responded by tipping the on the pub.
Kieran Trippier – 7
Caught out of position over a few events in the first half although his first overlapping runs proved to be a real source of danger to the guys of Southgate – as exhibited by the simple fact he needed touches of the ball.
Michael Keane – 7
Preferred into Tyrone and Joe Gomez Mings alongside Maguire. Booked in the first half, but functioned well complete.
Harry Maguire – 7
Another good performance from a participant who has come to be a mainstay of Southgate’s defence. The backline was commanded by him nicely and employed the ball completing 88 including 65 in the Bulgaria half – of his own 91 moves.
Danny Rose – 7
His Tottenham team-mate, Much like Trippier , he caused Bulgaria difficulties at the trunk and got ahead well. With the majority of Bulgaria’s greatest moments coming down the opposite flank he didn’t shirk his responsibilities, possibly. Booked for one marginally over-zealous challenge in the closing stages.
Declan Rice – 8
Just his appearance for the senior side of England but already looks at home at the midfield of Southgate. Showed awareness before the back , making tackles and interceptions than some of their team-mates. Also completed 95 of his 98 passes.
Jordan Henderson – 6
Do not do much wrong despite playing as England’s most innovative midfielder sometimes however, didn’t provide either. Connected sweetly with one Rose cross in the first half but his effort flew wide. Replaced by Mason Mount midway through the second half.
Ross Barkley – 8
Born some eye-catching moments of skill, completing five dribbles over the course of the 90 minutes and creating four chances. Not everything came off – there were groans from the audience when he over-hit one pass at the second half but he tried to make things happen.
Raheem Sterling – 9
England player in the first half not able to keep him up. Showed great expectation to intercept the loose pass of Plamen Iliev and tee Harry Kane’s opener , and was in the right place at the perfect time if his team-mate returned after the fracture.

England’s hat-trick hero. Alert to start the scoring from the cut-back of Sterling and completed his hat-trick using two excellent penalties from the second halfof the Also played a vital part in the purpose of Sterling, intercepting a Bulgaria pass before providing the assist and charging.
Mason Mount – 6
His real meaningful shot on goal flew wide and high, although showed plenty of endeavour buzzing across the Bulgaria half.
Jadon Sancho – 6
Showed flashes of his own skill but didn’t have a large quantity of time to produce an impact. Wasted one counter-attacking chance with a moment of control.
