England
Fraser Forster
No chance for the penalty, but saved well from Janssen in the buildup. A couple of nervy moments with ball at feet. 6
Kyle Walker
Had to wait his moment before, on his first overlap, laying on Vardy’s goal incisively. Looked steady and dealt well with Depay. 7
Chris Smalling
Some careless moments in the early stages but settled well enough. Arguably looks more at ease alongside Gary Cahill. 6
John Stones
Showed the value of his technique before Vardy’s goal but a less well-judged attempt to play from the back led to the penalty. 6
Danny Rose
Lucky after a risky tackle on Veltman; not so lucky when handling Narsingh’s cross. All-round game not as sharp as in Berlin. 5
James Milner
Heavily involved in the move for the opener and tried hard to stay involved on the right, although lacked guile to expose the Dutch. 6
Danny Drinkwater
Similar energy to his Leicester showings and some fine pieces of tracking. Needed to release the ball more quickly at times 6
Ross Barkley
Stifled by Bazoer for much of the game. Found the odd pocket of space but needs to be more prominent than he was here. 5
Adam Lallana
Little had come off until the cute ball that released Walker, but he grew in influence and has done his cause much good this week. 7
Daniel Sturridge
Too quiet in the first half, but finally got at Blind once or twice before the break and drew a sharp stop from Zoet before going off. 6
Jamie Vardy
Afforded little space to run behind, or at, the defence but finished Walker’s cutback confidently and later came close from range. 7
HOLLAND
Jeroen Zoet
Had barely been involved before Vardy’s goal but was alert to deny Sturridge and Vardy in the second period. 7
Joël Veltman
Unfortunate not to win a penalty after being taken down by Rose. Rarely got forward after that but defended his back post well throughout. 7
Jeffrey Bruma
Uncompromising at centre-back, blocking from Sturridge in the first half and putting head or boot on all that came his way. 7
Daley Blind
England might have done more to expose his lack of pace but his reading of the game was accomplished and there were few alarms. 7
Jetro Willems
A competent, conservative 90 minutes from the left-back, who was rarely beaten by opponents for strength or speed. 6
Georginio Wijnaldum
Tidy and incisive, forcing a first-half save from Forster, although his most important work was done off the ball. 7
Riecheldy Bazoer
Stuck tigerishly to Barkley and gave the playmaker little to work with. Sharp in the interception, and looks a genuine talent. 8
Ibrahim Afellay
Composed and disciplined in a compact midfield, with few chances to show his more constructive side. 6
Quincy Promes
Looked a sharp operator on the right but a knock seemed to hinder him and he was replaced by Narsingh before half-time. 6
Vincent Janssen
Penalty was put away confidently, and his assist for Narsingh blended the work rate and composure that marked his night. 8
Memphis Depay
Wayward with an early snap shot but put a disciplined shift in on the left of the attack, even if he did not have the beating of Walker. 6
Substitutes
Narsingh (for Promes, 37); Van Ginkel (for Bazoer, 78); Van Aanholt (for Willems, 82); Clasie (for Janssen, 90). Not used Vermeer, Karsdorp, Huntelaar, De Jong, Letschert, Vorm.
