England player ratings vs Bulgaria: Three Lions shine as racist abuse casts gloom over win


England cruised to a 6-0 win over Bulgaria in a game overshadowed by racist abuse directed at Gareth Southgate’s team.

Ross Barkley and Raheem Sterling bagged braces and Harry Kane struck late on after Marcus Rashford had put the Three Lions 1-0 up after just seven minutes.

England’s emphatic win came amid horrific racist abuse from the stands in Sofia, with Sterling, Rashford and Tyrone Mings on the receiving end.

Express Sport are on hand to pick out the top performers after England shone on a difficult night at the Vasil Levski National Stadium.

England player ratings

Jordan Pickford7

Had one early save to make from Ivelin Popov and turned the ball away confidently

Kieran Trippier7

Justified keeping his place with an important role in England’s attacking play.

Tyrone Mings7

Understandably nervy start grew in confidence and gave Southgate food for thought.

Harry Maguire7

Usual sound display at the heart of the defence, nursing Mings through his debut.

Ben Chilwell6

One of the few England players not to step things up a gear on Monday night. Has played better.

Jordan Henderson7

Early slip could have been red, not yellow, but settled into his usual industrious role.

Harry Winks8

The energy he brought to the heart of midfield made everything tick around him.

Ross Barkley8

Two goals and an assist had already decided the match long before the bad behaviour.

Marcus Rashford8

Answered the boo boys with a stunning goal – a rare sight in Manchester United colours.

Harry Kane9

With all that responsibility, he still dictated play with assists at first and then a goal.

Raheem Sterling8

Let his football do the talking in the perfect riposte to the hateful Bulgarian fans.

England subs

Mason Mount (for Barkley 74) – 6

Jadon Sancho (for Sterling 74) – 6

Calum Wilson (for Rashford 76) – 6
