Andy Hinchcliffe and Neil McCann give their starting XI player ratings as England beat Scotland 3-0 at Wembley. Goals from Daniel Sturridge, Adam Lallana and Gary Cahill sealed the three points for Gareth Southgates men, who remain top of Group F with ten points. The Scots will feel the scoreline didnt reflect their performance with a number of chances to get on the scoresheet themselves, but they now drop down to fifth in the group, above Malta who are yet to register a point. Pundits Hinchcliffe, who rated England, and McCann, who provided Scotlands scores, watched the game on Sky Sports News HQ and were on hand after the game to give their ratings.EnglandJoe Hart - 7It was probably one of his easiest nights as an England goalkeeper. He had some crosses to deal with but he didnt have any shots to save. The defenders in front of him did a pretty good job as well and he kept a clean sheet. Kyle Walker - 8He was the difference for that opening goal. England like to play with attacking full backs with Walker and Danny Rose instrumental. The first two goals came form the runs that they made and the crosses they put into the box. Danny Rose - 8For similar reasons to Walker, he got forward and provided width when the wide players come in field so again, you have to give him an eight for his attacking performance. Full-backs now are such an important part of a team because they dont really play with wide players anymore, they tend to drift infield like we saw with Raheem Sterling and Adam Lallana tonight.When they do that, its important for the full-backs to not just have the energy to get over the halfway line but have the quality to deliver balls into the box and thats exactly what Walker and Rose give you. Danny Rose earned an eight from Hinchcliffe for his Wembley performance Eric Dier - 7Again, it was a relatively quiet night for him. In the first 15 minutes or so, himself and Jordan Henderson found it difficult under the high press from Scotland so the midfield three were outnumbering and making life a bit difficult, so you didnt really see too much of them in the opening exchanges. As the game went on, they got a measure of control which is what I think they are in the team to provide. They are there to do a solid job and enable the attacking players to get into the game. Gary Cahill - 7 Gary Cahill headed home the third for the Three Lions at Wembley It was a wonderful header. Defensively, Scotland should have done an awful lot more but a very difficult header so in terms of an individual piece of skill, it was a cracking header so he will be pleased with the goal he scored. He was given a bit of a tough time at the start, Leigh Griffiths was closing defenders down and making it hard for Cahill and John Stones to play out from the back which is what they want to do, but he probably didnt have too much to do.John Stones - 6.5He was still trying to play his football during the game which he is capable of doing when playing out from the back but it was unusual the way Scotland approached it.They put him under a lot of pressure and a couple of times, he was over-playing so I was a little bit concerned in the opening 20 minutes for his performance, but the longer the game went on and Scotland sat off, we saw what type of player he is. Raheem Sterling - 9 Raheem Sterling was outstanding, says Hinchcliffe Sterling was outstanding. We know what a talented player he is with the ball, but his intelligence tonight was noticeable for the first goal. He came infield, it was his shot that got deflected for Walker to move into that space. Sterling and Adam Lallana have that intelligence to pop up in a variety of positions, and Sterling switched flanks tonight as well from right to left so again, he has that versatility which gives defences an awful lot of problems. His ability to run with the ball at pace is something England dont have in abundance so he is a key player going forward. Jordan Henderson - 7 Jordan Henderson played a solid game at Wembley, according to our pundit Again, hes there for that solid role, and its not necessarily nice to look at but its not meant to be. In terms of the formation of the team, his solid and disciplined performance allowed the attacking full-backs to go forward and Wayne Rooney to be released because they know they have the defensive insurance. Daniel Sturridge - 8When he was selected for the game, people were a little bit surprised, they thought Harry Kane might play and I was a bit worried because hes the kind of player that likes to come towards the ball because when Scotland defend in numbers, Sturridge might find himself in midfield rather than playing as a striker. But his awareness and ability to score goals is beyond question. The opening goal, which was the decisive factor in the game, only Sturridge could score a goal of that quality because the cross was really fizzed at him. Daniel Sturridge netted the opener for England on Friday evening Thats why Southgate probably looked at him, and he hasnt been playing regularly for Liverpool, but he has that ability in the blink of an eye to turn a cross into a goal.Wayne Rooney - 8This is more the type of position we want to see Rooney in. In the past, weve seen him playing deeper and deeper and he can play that role with his eyes shut but we want him to have an effect on the game and play like a typical No 10. Having the likes of Dier, Henderson, Lallana and Sterling in the team means Rooney can play further forward and I think he did a really good job tonight. Adam Lallana - 9.5 Adam Lallana scored the second of Englands three goals He was outstanding and just ahead of Sterling for his performance. His header was brilliantly controlled. He is now arguably Englands most important player along with Sterling from what weve seen over the last few games.Hes got pretty much everything - a creator, a hard worker and a goalscorer. ScotlandCraig Gordon - 6Its really difficult to criticise anything about him tonight. There was not really anything he could have done about any of the three goals.Lee Wallace - 6 Lee Wallace played well despite being at fault for the second goal, says Neil McCann I felt Lee Wallace was culpable for the second goal, but played quite well apart from that so Ill give him a six.Ikechi Anya - 5Anya had a difficult evening, I felt. Yes, maybe he was playing slightly out of position tonight, but he offered nothing going forwardChristophe Berra - 5I didnt even hear the commentators mention he was playing at any point tonight. He was involved in a couple of skirmishes with Sterling, but other than that he had a pretty quiet game. You cant criticise too much, but his job is to keep clean sheets and he didnt do that.Darren Fletcher - 5 Darren Fletcher was the captain for Scotland on Friday evening His work rate was good, but he probably didnt influence the game as much as I would have wanted him to.Grant Hanley - 5Hanley threw his body on the line a number of times tonight. He couldnt really do anything about the first or second goals, but he played a part in the third goal in my opinion. He didnt attack the ball and was a bit flat-footed.James Forrest - 5He worked really hard and he had a massive chance when the score was 1-0. He really should have tested the goalkeeper, so I cant mark him too highly.Scott Brown - 6 Scott Brown returned to the Scotland set-up for the meeting at Wembley He is another player who worked hard and I would think covered an impressive amount of ground. He didnt quite take the game by the scruff of the neck, as he has in a couple of Champions League games this season.Robert Snodgrass - 5It was a poor night for him and I was disappointed. We lean on him, especially in the final third because we knew we would have to defend a lot against England. His set-piece deliveries were fine, but I thought he had another quiet game. Robert Snodgrass went close for Scotland but could not find the breakthrough James Morrison - 6I thought James was OK, considering it was the first time in a while he had been handed a start for Scotland. He tried to put his foot on the ball and make things happen.Leigh Griffiths - 5He worked hard and had one effort which went over the bar and another crucial chance when he made the wrong decision. He had a shot instead of rolling Snodgrass in and that proved to be the wrong call.

"Overall, I love to see the power-play goals we were able to get tonight," said U.London, England (SportsNetwork.com) - Liverpool suffered a 2-1 defeat to Chelsea at Anfield on Saturday, its third loss in the span of a week. The Reds were on the wrong end of a 1-0 result at Newcastle in league play last week and followed the match with a disappointing 1-0 loss to Real Madrid in Champions League action on Tuesday. The bad times continued on Saturday as Diego Costa netted the winner at Anfield to mount some additional pressure on manager Brendan Rodgers. Saturdays affair started brightly for Liverpool as the hosts managed to break the deadlock in the early going. A well-worked move in the ninth minute allowed Emre Can to find space at the top of the penalty area and uncork a shot that took a massive deflection on its way past Thibaut Courtois. Chelsea, though, got back on level terms just five minutes later when a chaotic sequence in the box culminated with Gary Cahill sweeping a loose ball toward goal from close range. It appeared as though Simon Mignolet had done enough to deny the visitors an equalizer, but goal line technology revealed that Cahills shot had narrowly crossed the line. While the two sides traded scoring chances for the remainder of the opening period, the second half was controlled largely by Chelsea. The visitors eventually got their noses in front in the 67th minute when Cesar Azpilicueta found space on the left flank and sent a dangerous ball across the face of goal. Mignolet managed to parry the delivery but only as far as Costa, who smashed a first-time effort into the back of the net. Liverpool had a penalty shout in the 88th minute when Steve Gerrards shot was blocked by Cahills outstretched arm, but the infraction went unnoticed as Chelsea escaped with all three points in tact. The result sees the Blues continue their unbeaten start to the season as Jose Mourinhos men improve to 29 points through 11 matches. Liverpool, meanwhhile, stays put on 14 points.dddddddddddd Southampton kept pace with Chelsea at the top of the Premier League table as the Saints battled to a 2-0 victory over Leicester City at St. Marys on Saturday. The hosts were made to wait until the 75th minute for the go-ahead goal as second-half substitute Shane Long broke the deadlock with a superb curling effort. Long then doubled Southamptons advantage just five minutes later when he latched on to a ball over the top and slipped a shot into the back of the net at the near post. The Saints improve to 25 points on the season to stay four points back of Chelsea while Leicester City drops its fourth straight to remain on nine points. Manchester United dictated play at Old Trafford on Saturday but only managed to come away with a 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace. The lone goal came in the 67th minute when second-half substitute Juan Mata fired a shot that took a deflection on its way past Julian Speroni at the near post. The Red Devils were content with the narrow lead and closed out the match to snap their three-game winless run and move to 16 points. Manchester City avoided an embarrassing defeat at Loftus Road on Saturday as Sergio Agueros double helped the Citizens salvage a point from a 2-2 draw with QPR. The hosts grabbed the lead through Charlie Austin in the 21st minute only to see a brilliant bit of skill from Aguero draw City level 11 minutes later. An own goal from Martin Demichelis put QPR back in front 14 minutes from time, but Aguero ensured a point for the Citizens in the 83rd by latching on to a superb long ball from Yaya Toure and curling a precise left-footed shot into the back of the net. Ashley Barnes netted the lone goal in Bunrleys 1-0 defeat of Hull City, the clubs first win of the campaign. West Ham United and Aston Villa completed Saturdays action with a 0-0 draw at Upton Park.
