Sam Johnstone

The 28-year-old made an astonishing save to stop a late equaliser. A debut to remember. He exuded confidence. 8

Ben Godfrey

Romania outnumbered the Everton youngster early on but he knuckled down and had a decent game on his first start. 6

Ben White

Looked assured on his first start, making timely interceptions. Expect him to become a fixture in the squad. 7

Tyrone Mings

A worrying performance. Often caught out of position and made some bad decisions. Can Southgate risk starting him? 4

Luke Shaw

Always eager to burst forward down the left. His dynamism was exciting and he combined with Grealish for Rashford’s penalty. 7

Kalvin Phillips

Got some valuable minutes under his belt after recovering from a shoulder injury. Went off at half-time. 6

James Ward-Prowse

Some snappy challenges and scared Romania with his set pieces. Should replace Alexander-Arnold. 7

Jack Grealish

England’s brightest attacker. His dribbles unsettled Romania and he won a penalty. It will be hard for Southgate to leave him out. 8

Jadon Sancho

Struggled with his end product, but offered a flash of inspiration with a shot against the bar. 6

Marcus Rashford

Faded after a strong start. Fitness remains a concern, but his penalty was accomplished. 6

Dominic Calvert-Lewin

Hit the bar in the first half. Will regret giving the ball to Henderson after winning a late penalty. 6

Substitutes Henderson 4; Rice 6; Bellingham 6; Lingard 6; Trippier 6; Watkins 6
