England 2-0 Ivory Coast: player ratings from Wembley friendly

Nick Pope Will never have a quieter night in England’s colours, or anyone else’s, but distributed accurately. 6

Ben White Did well enough in 45 minutes at right-back under limited examination. One glorious chipped pass to Sterling. 6

Harry Maguire Booed by a few at the start, but brought ball out of defence consummately to set second goal in motion. Secure against limp opponents. 7

Tyrone Mings Not an occasion to answer questions about his defensive worth, but capped the night with a towering header. 7

Tyrick Mitchell Dealt comfortably with potentially tricky customer in Pépé on his first start and came close to scoring with an angled strike. 7

James Ward-Prowse Should have had a set-piece assist for Rice and shaved the bar with cracking long-range effort after the break. 7

Declan Rice Offers so much drive with Bellingham, as early run and shot showed, but should have scored free header. Sumptuous passing range. 7

Jude Bellingham Staked a serious claim with vision and penetration on the ball, along with clever pressing off it. Hit post after slick move. Player of the match. 8

Raheem Sterling Trickery and tenacity laid goal on plate for Watkins; scored himself in aftermath of his own excellent run and shot. Fine display. 8

Ollie Watkins Willing and inventive runner up front who showed predatory instincts to open the scoring from Sterling’s centre. 7

Jack Grealish At the heart of some intricate, purposeful England moves. Teed up Bellingham chance and smart first-time assist for Sterling. 7
