England made it two wins from two in Group E of Euro 2016 qualifying this evening courtesy of a routine 5-0 victory over minnows San Marino.
Phil Jagielka and Wayne Rooney gave the hosts a two-goal lead at the break, while Danny Welbeck, Andros Townsend and an Alex Della Valle own goal saw the Three Lions run out resounding winners in the end.
Here, Sports Mole takes a look at who impressed during the 90 minutes at Wembley.

ENGLAND
Goal
Joe Hart: Had nothing to do all match, and his touches were so rare that each and every one was met by a hearty cheer from the fans. (6/10)
Defence
Calum Chambers: Had plenty of chances to get forward as England were camped in the San Marino half, but didn't do it to great effect. Sloppy in possession at times, but solid enough overall. (6/10)
Phil Jagielka: Scored the opening goal with a header, although it was laid on a plate for him courtesy of a defensive error and poor marking. Otherwise untroubled throughout the match. (7/10)
Gary Cahill: Will not have had many easier nights than this in his career. Very rarely called upon defensively and posed a threat from set pieces without really causing too many problems. (6/10)
Kieran Gibbs: Preferred to Baines on the left flank and made a few good forward breaks. Linked up with teammates well a few times, but is unlikely to keep his place against Estonia. (6/10)
Midfield
Jordan Henderson: Part of a midfield that struggled to find any space in the first half. Was sacrificed at the break in order to provide more width, which worked wonders for England. (6/10)
Jack Wilshere: The best player on the park tonight. He was the brightest spark in an otherwise dull first half, and only improved given more space after the break. Played a number of incisive through balls, including two for Rooney that should have been snapped up. A very accomplished performance, albeit against such lowly opposition. (8/10)
James Milner: Switched from the base of the diamond to a wide role in the second half, which allowed England more width. Made a particularly good driving run into the box, but otherwise failed to really shine. (6/10)
Raheem Sterling: Made one or two bright runs behind the defence in the first half, including one that led to the corner that provided the opening goal. Was taken off at half time, however, as Hodgson looked to give his side more width. (6/10)
Attack
Danny Welbeck: Got his side's third goal with a good poacher's finish at the front post. Otherwise, found space at a premium but did link up quite well with teammates before being withdrawn just after the hour. (7/10)
Wayne Rooney: Won a penalty for his side and dispatched it expertly into the top corner. However, could have easily surpassed Jimmy Greaves's record this evening having squandered a number of really good chances. (7/10)
Substitutes
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain: Introduced at the break and made an immediate difference. Gave his side an outlet on the wing, which also created more space in the middle. Ended the match with two assists to his name. (8/10)
Adam Lallana: Also brought on at half time and added more to the England attack. Played in the hole behind the strikers and was unfortunate not to open his account having had a goal wrongly disallowed for offside. (7/10)
Andros Townsend: Fired in a fine fourth goal having replaced Welbeck in the 66th minute. Always direct and positive in his play, although as usual his decision-making was suspect at times. (7/10)

SAN MARINO
Goal
Aldo Simoncini: Was at fault for the first goal having tripped over his own player when coming for a corner, but recovered with a string of very impressive saves throughout the rest of the match. Couldn't do much about any of the other goals and, despite conceding five times, had a good game overall having faced 17 shots on target. (7/10)
Defence
Mirko Palazzi: England didn't get much joy on his flank before he was taken off with just under 20 minutes remaining. A decent defensive display from the right-back. (6/10)
Fabio Vitaioli: Held relatively firm, particularly in the first half as San Marino frustrated England. However, was exposed a couple of times as the match wore on. (5/10)
Alex Della Valle: Has now scored two own goals in his last two matches against England, but couldn't do much about Rooney's cross deflecting off him and in. Actually had a decent match otherwise, making a number of important interceptions and tackles. (6/10)
Cristian Brolli: Cleared a Townsend strike off the line in the second half, but otherwise was under the cosh all game. Difficult evening for him, as it was for all of the San Marino players. (5/10)
Manuel Battistini: Was comfortable enough in the first half, but struggled when faced with a winger like Oxlade-Chamberlain. Saw his clearance charged down, which directly led to England's third goal. (5/10)
Midfield
Jose Hirsch: Got on with his defensive duties in a disciplined fashion, but was always going to find it tough against a midfield infinitely more talented. (5/10)
Luca Tosi: Offered nothing going forward and was the man who inadvertently tripped his own keeper for the opening goal, while also allowing Jagielka to leap unchallenged. (4/10)
Nicola Chiaruzzi: Did the best he could in midfield, chasing shadows for long periods and holding position to make it tough for England to find a way through. San Marino were still comfortably second best in that area of the field, though. (5/10)
Matteo Vitaioli: Looked the most threatening of the San Marino players going forward, although that is not saying much. Flashed a shot wide of the near post in the first half. (6/10)
Attack
Andy Selva: Was never going to have an easy time tonight. Was given absolutely no service as San Marino were content to hoof the ball clear. Conceded the penalty at the end of the first half that allowed Rooney to double England's lead. (4/10)
Substitutes
Lorenzo Gasperoni: Replaced Tosi shortly after the hour, but could not prevent England from adding two more goals. (5/10)
Lorenzo Buscarini: Came on in place of Palazzi with just over 15 minutes remaining to add fresh legs to the defensive effort. (6/10)
Danilo Rinaldi: Was only on the field for a matter of minutes having replaced Selva late on. Still had time to pick up a booking. (6/10)
