Iceland vs England PLAYER RATINGS: Kyle Walker has lost his place after being sent off... while Raheem Sterling kept his cool to seal the win and was a regular threat cutting in from the wing
- Kyle Walker could face a lengthy wait for his 50th England cap after red card
- Trent Alexander-Arnold may become Gareth Southgate's first-choice right-back
- Raheem Sterling produced a mature performance and scored when it mattered
- Meanwhile, Joe Gomez spoiled a solid performance by conceding late penalty
England laboured in Reykjavik but sealed a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Iceland in the Nations League thanks to Raheem Sterling's late penalty.
Gareth Southgate's side were reduced to 10 men in the second half as Kyle Walker was dismissed for a second bookable offence, and Sverrir Ignason was also given his marching orders after handling the ball as referee Srdjan Jovanovic awarded a penalty.
Sterling held his nerve from the spot but England conceded a stoppage time penalty when Joe Gomez hauled down his opponent, only for former Aston Villa man Birkir Bjarnason to blaze his spot kick over the bar.

Booked: Ingason, Sent off: Ingason
ENGLAND (4-3-3)
Gareth Southgate 6
No waistcoat and mixed tactics, team lacked attacking edge.
Gareth Southgate should have moved much quicker to change a team lacking in invention
Jordan Pickford 6
Not a lot to do, even with the penalty, but did nothing wrong considering pressure to keep place.
Kyle Walker 5
Had to perform with Trent Alexander-Arnold on bench. Red card a nightmare for him.

Joe Gomez 5
Impressive passing at times, made a telling block to stop possible early home goal.
Eric Dier 6
Strong in air, but hardly involved until he carelessly gave the ball away to spark Iceland attack.
Kieran Trippier 6
Not everyone’s first choice for left-back and did not help himself with some wayward passing.
Joe Gomez spoiled an accomplished performance by conceding a stoppage-time penalty
James Ward-Prowse 6
Not the biggest name in this England line-up but did not look out of place on his senior debut.
Declan Rice 7
Recovered from a shaky start to play well, but missed a great opportunity to score in first half.
Declan Rice recovered from a shaky start to play well, and he could even add goals to his game
Phil Foden 6
Nothing spectacular, but surely the start of a long England career. Linked up well with Sterling.
Raheem Sterling 8
Started well and a regular threat cutting in from the left, then nets the winning penalty.
Harry Kane 6
Led by example and could have had two early goals – including one incorrectly disallowed for offside.
Harry Kane showed signs of fatigue after having one goal unfairly disallowed for offside
Jadon Sancho 6
Started well on full debut, moved ball quickly but did not make the most of his possession.
SUBS:
Danny Ings replaced Foden after 68 minutes.
Trent Alexander-Arnold replaced Jadon Sancho on 73 minutes as Southgate changed tactics following Walker's red card.
Mason Greenwood replaced Harry Kane for final 12 minutes.
REFEREE: Srdjan Jovanovic 5 - too many random decisions.
