England player ratings as Harry Kane earns 8 for leading line in dramatic victory over Colombia

01:09 04/07/2018

Do not adjust your television sets – England won a penalty shoot-out at the World Cup.

Seemingly coasting to a hard-fought victory, the head of Yerry Mina made things extremely dicey for the Three Lions – and Colombia looked on top for much of extra-time.

However, England held their nerve on spot-kicks at the fourth time of asking on the global stage as Jordan Pickford denied Carlos Bacca and Eric Dier sent them to the quarter-finals.

Check our England ratings below:

ENGLAND (3-1-4-2)

Jordan Pickford – Save from Uribe may have been going wide but came up with goods to deny Bacca in shoot-out 7

Kyle Walker – Was producing a fine display before his brain freeze let Falcao in behind. Worryingly prone to mental lapse. 5

John Stones – Always been comfortable on the ball and is now becoming a much more assured defender 7

Harry Maguire – Wherever the ball was, his head swiftly followed – except at the very last up against a leaping Mina 7

Jordan Henderson – Lost his nerve when England lost control in first half of extra-time. Missed penalty. 5

Kieran Trippier – Radar on set-pieces slightly askew – this was a night where he showed off his defending to shackle Quintero 7

Dele Alli – Fantastic defensive shift on the left when England under pressure. Made one defence-splitting pass to Lingard 7

Jesse Lingard – Too often on the periphery and failed to find a wide-open Kane in the box late in the second half 5

Ashley Young – Some exquisite touches made openings down the left with space at a premium, defensively rock-solid 7

Raheem Sterling – So crucial to this side with lightning pace and intelligent runs. He’s just too often a shade off making an accurate touch or pass 6

Harry Kane – Didn’t get the service – so served himself up. Won seven fouls, including the one for the penalty, and a bucketful of pressure-relieving headers 8

SUBSTITUTES

Eric Dier – On when Southgate looked to shore up shop. Ended up as England’s penalty hero 7

Jamie Vardy – As midfield lost connection to attack, had nothing to feed on 5

Danny Rose – Picked up well from where Young left off, added pep to flanks 7

Marcus Rashford – Only on for the penalty, and what a hit it was from the 20-year-old N/A
