Gareth Southgate's side clinched their place at the global tournament with a convincing triumph over their opponents on Tuesday evening.

England's Starting XI

• Jordan Pickford – Made a few of good saves in the second half to preserve his remarkable clean sheet streak. It's now nine in a row. 6.5
• The defender – Has adapted to international football like a duck to water. More challenging tests are coming, of course, but a positive start to his England career. 7
• The defender – Two matches in less than a week will do the Manchester City defender a world of good. Remains one of the first names on the roster, fitness permitting. 7
• Ezri Konsa – Picked ahead of Marc Guehi and was flawless. Made an superb last-ditch recovery tackle in the later stages to boot. 7
• Arsenal's talent – Looked a little not at his best at times, expected given his lack of action at his club. An promising few months ahead. 6
• The midfielder – Looks undroppable in this England team at the moment. Looks tailored for this level and has formed an excellent partnership with Rice. 7
• The midfielder – Excelling in his attacking role. The backbone of England's midfield is demonstrating his attacking abilities now. Developing into a true all-round midfielder. 7
• Morgan Rogers – Less influential as he has been in England's victories over Serbia and Wales. The answer will come next month who is the leading candidate of the number 10 shirt. 6
• Arsenal's star – Provided an setup to his excellent goal against Wales last Thursday. Will be key to England's prospects next summer. 7.5
• The striker – In the form of his life. Took his tally for the season to 20 goals. Has scored 76 goals for his country. Is 100 possible 100? 8
• Anthony Gordon – Precise finish to open the scoring for England here in the Latvian capital. Has acquitted himself well during this fixture period. 7.5

England Substitutes

• Jordan Henderson (for Rice 60) – Maintained the tempo in midfield. 6
• The playmaker (for Rogers 60) – Superbly finished goal and a threat. 7
• West Ham's attacker (for Saka 60) – Battles on his hands to earn a place when the squad is full. 6
• Dan Burn (for Stones 71) – As you'd expect, handled everything aerially. 6
• Manchester United's star (for Gordon 71) – A quick burst down the left stood out. 6

With qualification confirmed, England can now turn their attention for the World Cup with confidence.
