He won't be complaining. 6Reece James: Always provides quality down the right and the fact he has played two games in quick succession bodes well for his fitness given his history of injury. 6.5Ezri Konsa: One error in the first half when England were 2-0 up, but otherwise a professional performance from the central defender - and his first international goal to boot. 7Marc Guehi: Is he England's most influential central defender now given John Stones' injury problems? Didn't put a foot wrong here and got off the mark for England. 7.5Tino Livramento: The versatile full-back linked well with Newcastle team-mate Anthony Gordon down the left. Full of energy and found a good balance between defence and attack. 7Elliot Anderson: Controlled performance in central midfield and looks to have cemented his place in the squad. Encouraging week for the Nottingham Forest man. 8Declan Rice: Appears to have made the permanent switch to number eight for club and country with a licence to break forward at will. His dead-ball delivery assisted two of England's five goals. 8.5Noni Madueke: Emerging as a very important player for Thomas Tuchel - an assist against Andorra and his first England goal here. An important few days for the Arsenal winger. 7.5Morgan Rogers: A very promising display from the Aston Villa man. Made things happen in the final third and Serbia had problems picking him up between the lines. Laid on England's second for Madueke. 7.5Anthony Gordon: Bright down the left and provided the sort of penetration England lacked against Andorra. Justified his selection. 7Harry Kane: Keeps scoring goals for club and country. Just as important for the national team as he was five years ago. 7SubstitutesDjed Spence (for James 69): On for his England debut. Slotted in seamlessly at right-back. 6Marcus Rashford (for Gordon 69): Coolly slotted home his penalty to make it five. 7Jarrod Bowen (for Madueke 76): Energy and full of running on the right. 6Ollie Watkins (for Kane 76): Finally got on the pitch after missing out on Saturday. 6Jordan Henderson (for Rice 81): Helped England cruise to victory. 6How BBC Sport readers rated the playersThe Player Rater cannot be displayed in your browser.
