West Ham stars Declan Rice and Jesse Lingard both starred as England secured a second successive World Cup qualifying victory in Albania.
Following the midweek routing of minnows San Marino at Wembley, in which Rice was an unused substitute, the 22-year-old midfielder returned to international action playing the full 90 minutes as Gareth Southgate's side secured a 2-0 win in Tirana's Arena Kombetare.Meanwhile Hammers team mate Lingard, who featured against San Marino was a second half substitute, replacing Manchester City's Phil Foden for the remaining nine minutes of the match which was won through goals from Harry Kane and Rice's close friend Mason Mount.
For Rice it was his 14th cap for England following his debut against the Czech Republic in March 2019. Meanwhile Lingard was making his 26th appearance for his country, four-and-a-half years after winning his first cap against Malta.
