England have qualified for Euro 2024 with two games to spare after coming from behind to defeat Italy thanks to two goals from Harry Kane and a brilliant Marcus Rashford strike UEFA
Former West Ham striker Gianluca Scamacca punished some slack England defending to fire Italy into an early lead, in what was a rematch of the Euro 2020 final at Wembley UEFA
But England hit back as Kane converted a 32nd-minute penalty, which was won by Jude Bellingham following a bursting run into the Italy box UEFA
And Bellingham was heavily involved again as he led an England counter-attack after the break, creating space for Rashford to slam a powerful strike into the corner UEFA
Kane made sure of the victory with another breakaway goal late on - his 61st for England - and it means Gareth Southgate’s side can now begin their preparations for Germany next summer UEFA
Here are how the England players rated at WembleyRecommendedEngland have qualified for Euro 2024 — now it’s about winning itJude Bellingham once again proves he is the key for England’s Euro 2024 hopesJordan Pickford, 7The goalkeeper made some key stops with the match level in the first half, particularly from Destiny Udogie’s run shortly before the break UEFA
Italy were poor in the second half and Pickford was barely troubled from there UEFA
Kyle Walker, 6The experienced right back was assured and steady and barely let Stephan El Shaarway have a sniff UEFA
John Stones, 6The centre-back is still working his way up to full fitness but his class on the ball was apparent UEFA
Perhaps caught a yard short of Scamacca for Italy’s opening goal - but England were also second-best throughout the pitch at the time UEFA
Harry Maguire, 6There were spells in the first half where England needed to move it quicker and Maguire was left looking culpable with his ponderous style in possession UEFA
Italy certainly punished some slack defending with the opening goal, but Maguire also grew into the game and made some key blocks UEFA
Given the outside noise, this was a decent performance from the centre-back UEFA

Kalvin Phillips, 4Looked sluggish from the opening 10 minutes, where he was late to a couple of challenges and it resulted in an early yellow UEFA
There were big gaps in midfield, which were the areas Phillips was in the team to fill in his double-pivot with Rice, and he was perhaps fortunate not to be shown a second yellow after another mistimed challenge UEFA
Brought off for Jordan Henderson UEFA
Phillips admitted he was lucky not to be sent off (The FA via Getty Images)Declan Rice, 6It was rare to see Rice so exposed in midfield and there were a couple of moments where Italy were able to play around him - Italy’s Davide Frattesi and Nicolo Barella were certainly a handful - but it’s a measure of Rice’s authority that he soon got the situation under control UEFA
Phil Foden, 8Made some thrilling bursts from central positions and was also heavily involved in England’s brilliant second goal on the counter-attack UEFA
Perhaps still isn’t as threatening on the right wing as Bukayo Saka often is, but shows brilliant flashes of quality in those dangerous inside channels UEFA
Jude Bellingham, 9If there was only one England player who looked sharp in the sluggish opening half hour, it’s no surprise to say it was Bellingham UEFA
Helped bring England level with his burst into the box to win Kane’s penalty and then repeated the trick with a lovely flick and drive forward in the move that led to Rashford’s strike UEFA
England’s main man, at 20 years old, and his display received a standing ovation UEFA
(The FA via Getty Images)Marcus Rashford, 8It’s amazing what a goal can do UEFA
Looked short of confidence in the first half, even as he almost forced a couple of openings in his battle with Di Lorenzo UEFA
But Bellingham’s break allowed Rashford to cut inside from the left and smash a brilliant strike past Gianluigi Donnarumma UEFA
It was a sudden flash of last season’s form UEFA
Harry Kane, 9Brought up his 60th England goal from the spot with a typically cool penalty UEFA
There were times early on where he looked a little more isolated up front than in previous appearances, but from there the quality link-up play with his fellow forwards flowed, with clever touches and booming switches to both Foden and Rashford UEFA
His second goal of the night, as he eased Alessandro Bastoni away and finished, simply oozed the class of an elite striker UEFA

It landed in late August, rocking New Zealand like a flanker’s perfectly timed tackle to the ribs UEFA
The All Blacks were already on their way to France, finishing their final preparations for the Rugby World Cup when a panel conducting long-awaited review of governance released a damning report declaring the constitution and structures of New Zealand Rugby (NZR) “not fit for purpose” UEFA
The report did not paint a pretty picture UEFA
“In the panel’s view, New Zealand Rugby has too many professional players,” it explained UEFA
The NPC, New Zealand’s provincial competition, is “unsustainable in its current format” UEFA
The five franchises that play in the top-level Super Rugby Pacific competition “are struggling financially” UEFA
“New Zealand Rugby in the professional era is a large and complex business,” said chair of the review panel David Pilkington UEFA
“The structure it sits within was not designed for a business of this size and complexity UEFA
” The financial reports are anything but all black – NZR reported a financial loss of just over NZ$47m (£22 UEFA
5m) last year UEFA
Which is of deep concern not just for the union, but for rugby globally, too UEFA
The problems in New Zealand are reflective of a precarious global ecosystem: too many professional players being paid wages beyond that which their clubs and unions can afford, with revenues not growing to keep up with salary inflation UEFA
If a commercial behemoth like the All Blacks is not a sufficient money-spinner to sustain a professional structure, what hopes do emergent unions have?Rugby is embedded in New Zealand’s culture UEFA
It is a vital tool of trade for a land of only five million people, a small collection of islands in the south Pacific afforded global prominence by its ability to punch above its weight on the pitch UEFA
Australia coach Eddie Jones remarked this summer that New Zealand’s economy would suffer if his Wallabies beat the All Blacks; an analysis conducted by The New Zealand Herald found that there was some truth to the quip UEFA
The Taranaki Bulls won this year’s New Zealand National Provincial Championship (Getty)In terms of brand recognition, New Zealand’s national men’s rugby team ranks alongside the biggest sporting entities UEFA
Visit almost any inhabited corner of the world and mention rugby, and it is remarkable how often the words “All Blacks” will feature in the reply UEFA
“You have to understand, New Zealand is a very young country and rugby has put this country on the map,” 2011 World Cup-winning head coach Graham Henry once explained to The Guardian UEFA
“This country earned respect from the rest of the world for three things: what we did in two world wars, and to a lesser extent what we’ve done on the rugby field UEFA
So over time rugby has become a major part of our national identity UEFA
”Do the problems suggest that feeling is fading for some New Zealanders? There is perhaps a developing sense of apathy among domestic fans UEFA
Rugby union is no longer so certain of its place in Kiwi hearts UEFA
UEFA Basketball has surged in popularity in the country, while rugby league’s New Zealand Warriors have sold out Mt Smart Stadium regularly in 2023 as the NRL makes a long-awaited breakthrough across the Tasman UEFA
The Warriors’ average home attendance this season was 22,685; across town, Auckland’s Blues had short of 13,000 in at Eden Park for their Super Rugby Pacific quarter-final against the Waratahs UEFA
Eden Park’s stands were far from full for the Blues’ quarter-final win over the Waratahs in June (Getty)On the pitch, Super Rugby Pacific has lost its lustre, with South Africa’s move into Europe’s club competitions a blow even if the Fijian Drua have brought a breath of fresh air UEFA
The geographical realities of being so isolated mean New Zealand had little option but to re-up a deal with Australia, a rugby nation dealing with plenty of its own struggles UEFA
Rumours abound of renewed involvement from Argentina and Japan, or a new American venture, but growing the financial pot will not be easy UEFA
A number of senior figures will depart Aotearoa after this tournament for lucrative contracts in France and Japan, either permanently or on sabbatical UEFA
While new stars like Will Jordan and Cam Roigard are emerging, they do not seem to have the same cultural cut-through as the men in black who have come before UEFA
In the 20 years UEFA between 2000 and 2020, there was a 20 per cent drop in player participation in rugby union at New Zealand’s secondary schools UEFA
The “Baby Blacks” have not made any of the last three U20 Championship finals – is the world’s best rugby production line grinding to a halt?“I don’t know about falling out [of love] with the game but I think they’re falling out with a few things that are happening within the game, that’s frustrating people UEFA
It can be hard to watch at times,” Steve Hansen, who guided the All Blacks to the 2015 World Cup victory, explained to Newstalk earlier this year UEFA
“There’s no dispute that Super Rugby has to change UEFA
It’s pretty predictable and still stuck where it was four or five years ago UEFA
You go through the quarter-finals and it wasn’t that exciting as you knew who was going to win UEFA
“I haven’t stopped to think about where it’s going to be in 20 years, I’m more worried about where it’s going to be in five UEFA
UEFA
UEFA
I think we’re at the crossroads UEFA
Unless we make some strong changes and start listening to the people that want to come along and watch it then it will just be the participants playing it UEFA
”However rocky the picture beneath them, the All Blacks clearly remain big business UEFA
Last year, a stake in New Zealand Rugby (NZR) was sold to Silver Lake, an American private equity firm also involved in the City UEFA Football Group UEFA
The deal valued the commercial assets of NZR at NZ$3 UEFA
5bn (£1 UEFA
67bn) UEFA
The All Blacks are hoping to win a fourth World Cup (Getty)You suspect the investors will be pretty happy if, come Saturday night, Sam Cane has his hands on the Webb Ellis Cup UEFA
Certainly, the commercial landscape will look rather more pleasing if New Zealand’s men join their women back at the top of the rugby world – for the good of an ailing domestic game, the All Blacks need a World Cup win more than you might think UEFA
