"Image source, Getty Images England secured their fifth win in five matches in World Cup 2026 qualifying with a 5-0 thrashing of Serbia - but did anyone impress? BBC Sport senior football correspondent Sami Mokbel assesses how the players performed in Belgrade on Tuesday - and you can see how BBC Sport readers rated them at the bottom of the page too."
"Declan Rice: Appears to have made the permanent switch to number eight for club and country with a licence to break forward at will. His dead-ball delivery assisted two of England's five goals. 8.5 Noni Madueke: Emerging as a very important player for Thomas Tuchel - an assist against Andorra and his first England goal here. An important few days for the Arsenal winger. 7.5"
"Morgan Rogers: A very promising display from the Aston Villa man. Made things happen in the final third and Serbia had problems picking him up between the lines. Laid on England's second for Madueke. 7.5 Anthony Gordon: Bright down the left and provided the sort of penetration England lacked"
England produced a comprehensive 5-0 victory over Serbia in World Cup 2026 qualifying, marking five wins from five. Midfielders Declan Rice and Elliot Anderson were influential, with Rice switching into a number eight role and supplying two dead-ball assists. Noni Madueke scored his first England goal, having previously assisted against Andorra. Defenders Ezri Konsa and Marc Guehi also contributed goals and delivered solid defensive displays. Jordan Pickford had little to do as England largely controlled the game. Reece James and Tino Livramento provided attacking width, while Morgan Rogers impressed by creating chances and setting up Madueke's goal.
