England vs Albania player ratings: Lewis-Skelly imperious on international debut

Thomas Tuchel got his England tenure off to a winning start with a 2-0 win over Albania at Wembley.

Here, Telegraph Sport runs the rule of the performances of the players as well as that of England’s new manager.

1. Jordan Pickford

Not much to do by way of shots. There was a freak clearance that landed on the bar but otherwise a case of keeping concentration. If there was doubt over who Tuchel’s No1 was, picking the Everton goalkeeper was a statement. 6/10

2. Kyle Walker

Showed his pace on several occasions, including an eye-catching recovery run in the first half.
