England claimed a morale-boosting 2-1 victory over Australia in an international friendly at the Stadium of Light on Friday evening.
Goals from Manchester United pair Marcus Rashford and Wayne Rooney sealed the deal for Roy Hodgson's men. But a shaky defence almost saw them undone.
Here are how the Three Lions rated in this match.
Goalkeeper and Defence
Fraser Forster - 6.5
Relatively untroubled and hardly at fault for the goal. Made a poor clearance in the opening minutes, also a decent save to deny Robbie Kruse.
Nathaniel Clyne - 7.5
Industrious as ever. Stayed busy on the right flank, albeit not having to defend that much.
Chris Smalling - 6
Started off shaky, but grew into the game as it went on.
John Stones - 6
Didn't have much to do defensively. Made a great pass from deep.
Ryan Bertrand - 7
Great at the back and provided a nice outlet going forward. Was involved in the buildup to the first goal.
Eric Dier - 4
Headed into his own net three minutes after coming on late in the second half.
Tom Heaton - N/A
87-min sub.
Midfield
"?Jack Wilshere - 5
Quiet night for the Arsenal man, as he wasn't given a creative role. Still lacks a bit of sharpness.
Danny Drinkwater - 5
Quiet as well. Was hardly functional in Hodgson's midfield experiment.
Jordan Henderson - 6
Forced the Aussie keeper into a save with a shot from distance late in the first half. Worked hard on both ends.
Raheem Sterling - 7
Set Wayne Rooney up with the goal. Still loads of room for improvement.
Adam Lallana - 5
Poor performance from the Liverpool man. But then again, he could always blame the formation.
James Milner - 6
Replaced Wilshere after halftime. Was his usual, industrious self.
Ross Barkley - 5
Came on for Rashford around the 63rd minute. Great positioning, but gave the ball away too cheaply.
Andros Townsend - 6
Subject to jeers from the Sunderland fans, but still played well.
Attack
Marcus Rashford - 8
Superb debut for the 18-year-old. Scored with his first shot and became England's youngest-ever debut scorer. Had a few rookie moments, but brilliant performance overall.
Wayne Rooney - 7.5
Scored with a blistering shot after coming on after the half. Proved he's still a key member of the squad.
