England v Republic of Ireland: Player ratings

It was a game of two halves for the Republic of Ireland at Wembley as an encouraging showing turned into a nightmare once Liam Scales was sent off.

After a scoreless first half in which Ireland had two strong penalty claims, Scales picked up a second yellow for fouling Jude Bellingham in the box.
