England made it four wins from four in Group C of Euro 2024 qualifying by comfortably dispatching North Macedonia 7-0 at Old Trafford.

Captain Harry Kane got the first just before the half hour mark, before Bukayo Saka made it 2-0 nine minutes later. On the stroke of half-time, Manchester United's Marcus Rashford made it 3-0 at the half-time break.

Saka got two more after the break, to secure his first hat-trick in an England shirt, while Kane got a second from the penalty spot, and Kalvin Phillips also scored.

It was a very comfortable display from England, who continued their dominant form in home qualifiers, and took another step towards next year's European Championships in Germany.

Here, Mail Sport's Dominic King rates the players from England 7-0 North Macedonia:

England 4-3-3

Jordan Pickford 6

Barely touched the ball. This was his 53rd England cap � few have been quieter.

Kyle Walker 7

Cruised through as if it were a training game. Lovely fizzed pass paved the way for Saka to open his account.

John Stones 6.5

In terms of defending, training at City would be more challenging. Won the penalty for England�s seventh.

Harry Maguire 6

First task was to shepherd a ball back in the fourth minute, which he did. Never tested thereafter.

Luke Shaw 7

On the front foot so much in the first half, he looked like a left midfielder. Put Kane�s opening goal on a plate for him.

Declan Rice 7

Booked for a mistimed challenge. No need to persist with him when the game was won.

Trent Alexander-Arnold 7

The No 10 shirt sits comfortably on his shoulders. Great vision and beautiful pass to create Saka�s second.

Jordan Henderson 7

Full of energy and aggression to set the tone. Added gloss to his performance with an assist for Rashford.

Bukayo Saka 9

The young man who always puts a smile on your face. Produced three super finishes.

Harry Kane 8

Nasty clash of heads early on proved no barrier to him scoring for the sixth England game in a row and providing two assists.

Marcus Rashford 8

Relished being on home turf. It felt inevitable he would score in front of the Stretford End.

Gallagher (Henderson, 58min)

Manager: Gareth Southgate 7

Spent the week preaching to his squad the importance of this fixture and the level of focus he got from them was exemplary.

Referee: Istvan Kovacs (Romania) 6

Very little to cause him consternation. Let the game run and got every decision right, though Rice may argue his booking was harsh.

North Macedonia (3-5-2)

Dimitrievski 4; Ristovski 4 (Bejtulai 46min, 5), Zajkov 5 (Serafimov 57, 5), Velkovski 4; Ashkovski 5, Elmas 5, Ademi 4 (Atanasov 58, 5), Bardhi 5 (David Babunski 67, 5), Alioski 4; Trajkovski 5 (Dorian Babunski 57, 5), Nestorovski 5.
