The Three Lions make it seven from seven on a fairly routine night in London, consisting of two very un-routine-like goals.
Bukayo Saka got the first shortly before the half-hour mark, with substitute Eberechi Eze getting the second as the clock ticked over to 90 minutes.
With Thomas Tuchel’s side already qualified for next summer’s World Cup, Tuchel’s main focus will shift towards that first starting XI he will have to pick for the opener.
Jordan Pickford – 7
Despite the Serbians needing a point to have any chance of making it through qualification, the England defence kept Pickford from having to do too much in front of his goal.
He was sharp the couple of times he was needed and, as always, played some nice balls over the top.
Reece James – 6
It is becoming increasingly likely that the Chelsea man will be Tuchel’s first choice to start on the right for the opening game next summer, and tonight would not have dissuaded Tuchel of this.
Little to do defensively, but mopped up as needed and calm going forward, he put some nice crosses in, but largely went unnoticed.
Ezri Konsa – 8
The centre-back pairing next summer will quite clearly be picked from the trio of John Stones, Marc Guehi and Konsa.
Whilst Konsa has the least international experience of the three, his performances over this qualifying campaign have been nothing short of exceptional, and tonight was no different.
He was strong and quick in the tackle each time against Dusan Vlahovic, who himself is no slouch and was decisive in a couple of clearances he made. A headache for Tuchel.
John Stones – 7
Did not stand out in defence like Konsa did, but, as is becoming a theme, was sharp and mopped up when needed.
Nico O’Reilly – 8
You would not have guessed it was his debut.
Looked comfortable across the pitch and took the shot, which the Serbian goalkeeper palmed into the path of Saka for his goal.
Elliot Anderson – 8
With each game in an England shirt, Nottingham Forest’s asking price of £100 million for him looks more and more reasonable.
A real partnership is forming with Declan Rice as the two in midfield, with the duo completely dominating the midfield.
Declan Rice – 7
Controls the more defensive side of England’s game than his midfield partner, but equally as dominant when he does venture forward.
Put in a handful of really dangerous corners, one of which was headed narrowly wide by Harry Kane.
Bukayo Saka – 9
A wonderful volleyed finish for the opening goal, the Arsenal man can hardly seem to put a foot wrong at the moment.
He had some worried, as he seemed to make a substitution signal with his hands and started limping following his goal, but all was seemingly resolved soon after, as he changed his boots when he got the chance.
Never gave the left-back a minute to gain footing and was always looking for the extra yard to put a curled effort into the far corner, much like he did against Wales a month ago.
Morgan Rogers – 7
Started his night with a silky nutmeg and cross-field ball, and it only got better from there.
His touches and runs on and from the edge of the box had the Serbian defence scrambling all game, unlucky not to grab a goal towards the end of the first half.
Considering England’s wealth of attacking firepower, the Aston Villa man is unlikely to start next summer, but he is a fantastic player to bring on late in a game to change the dynamic.
Marcus Rashford – 6
The Rashford revival is well underway and has been for some time now.
When the Barca boy is confident, he breezes past players, and although he himself would probably say it wasn’t his best game, the confidence he showed in attempting the take-ons is almost enough for the rating.
At the moment, it is probably a 50-50 as to whether he starts next year, but similar to Rogers, an excellent player to have on Tuchel’s bench should things go awry.
Harry Kane – 7
Barring a header that he absolutely should be tucking away considering his standards, he had a surprisingly quiet night in front of goal.
Despite that, he showed why he is the captain with two or three strong challenges when dropping deep.
Whether a striker should be making slide tackles on the edge of his own box is a question, not one that needs answering, but a question nonetheless.
What is not a question, however, is whether he will start that first game next year, assuming he remains injury-free.
Eberechi Eze – 9
Scored with an effort that could not have gone much further into the top corner, as well as hitting the crossbar minutes earlier.
Phil Foden – 8
Sparked the game back into life, combined with the above, after a slow opening 20 minutes, to the second period.
Assisted Eze with a perfectly weighted ball that allowed him to hit it first time.
Jude Bellingham – 7
Although not quite as attacking involved as his two fellow attacking substitutes, he brought some running and dynamism to a game desperately lacking in it by the time he was brought on.
Jordan Henderson – 6
Brought on at 1-0 to keep the score-line level and did exactly that. Not much else to say about his performance.
Adam Wharton – N/A
Brought on with five minutes to go for his second cap, not enough to rate.
