England defeated Scotland 3-1 in a friendly at Hampden Park to mark the 150th anniversary of their first encounter. Jude Bellingham excelled in the middle of the field.

Shortly after the half-hour mark, Phil Foden gave England the lead with a fast shot before Bellingham promptly doubled the visitors’ lead following an error by Andy Robertson.

Harry Maguire, who was brought on at halftime and was aggressively pursued by the home crowd, scored into his own goal to give Scotland a chance, but Bellingham’s exquisite pass for Harry Kane made sure England left the field with the victory.

Dan Kilpatrick evaluated the England players at Hampden Park.

(7) Aaron Ramsdale

Players from Scotland didn’t really bother them much, and it was unlucky to be caught off guard when Maguire turned into his own goal.

(8) Kyle Walker

dominated the right side by taking advantage of Scotland’s restricted back three. After flashing a shot across the area earlier, he provided the assist for Foden’s goal with a low cross.

(7) Lewis Dunk

If Manchester United continues to struggle, Dunk might be the obvious replacement because of his similar stature to Maguire and his poised play on the ball. On his first England debut since 2018, assured, he made a crucial block in the second half.

(7) Marc Guehi

With the exception of one handball shout, remained unfazed throughout another encouraging 45-minute performance. Now the third center-half for England after Maguire and John Stones?

Kenneth Trippier 6

connected with Rashford down the left excellently, although he stayed in his half longer than Walker, which was expected considering that he was playing with his weaker foot.

Seven Kalvin Phillips

Phillips looked enthusiastic and at ease in and out of possession, considering he has only played six minutes for Manchester City this season.

(8) Declan Rice

imposing without the ball and made good use of it, frequently trying to interchange plays or throw crosses into the box while evading the press.

9 Jude Bellingham

With a beautiful move away from two opponents, a drop of the shoulder, and a clever pass, you set up Kane’s game-winning goal. His goal was a gift, but he successfully completed it and contributed to the setup with a deft one-two with Foden. The night’s best English player also forced Angus Gunn to make a save in the second half.

(8) Phil Foden

despite missing England’s first opportunity from Rashford’s cutback, made up for it by scoring the game’s first goal in a brilliant performance of shrewd moves and delicate flicks.

eight Marcus Rashford

He can be a creative option from the flank and a goal threat because to his outstanding passing through the lines.

(7) Harry Kane

took his goal with his customary confidence to end the game. He moved in a way that stretched Scotland’s back three and, as usual, dropped back to gain possession of the ball.

Subs

In the 45′, Harry Maguire (Guehi)

The Tartan Army relentlessly pursued them, and inadvertently—if carelessly—they scored an own goal to allow Scotland to reclaim the lead. Really shouldn’t have been subjected to the firing line.

Eberechi Eze (7′, Rashford)

In a spirited cameo, Gunn prevented his first England goal with a deft save while also contributing to the third goal’s setup.

Bukayo Saka (7′, Rashford)

In the play that resulted in Kane’s goal, he held on to the ball well and was a challenge for a worn-out Scotland.
