ENGLAND RATINGS: Jordan Pickford - 7/10: Not a busy day for the Everton goalkeeper, but a satisfactory one. He showed presence and authority when Iceland slung in their high crosses, and had a stroke of luck when Birkir Bjarnason skied his late penalty. Reuters

Kyle Walker - 5: Careless in collecting a second yellow card as England became frustrated midway through the second half. His suspension looks a setback in the battle for the right-back role, where Walker’s experience is no guarantee of his being first-choice. Getty

Joe Gomez - 8: An intelligent and poised performance until he conceded a late penalty. His anticipation, calmness and positioning had, up to the late blip, made him England’s outstanding contributor. Getty

Kieran Trippier - 7: Pushed into service at left-back, on the opposite flank to his usual one, the Atletico Madrid man adapted with no fuss. His dead-ball delivery posed occasional difficulties for Iceland’s well-organised back line. Getty

Declan Rice - 6: Applied good energy to his task, at least for the first hour or so and was keen to break forward from midfield, and take Iceland’s deep defensive lines by surprise. His shooting, once in threatening positions, was erratic, though. Reuters

James Ward-Prowse - 6: On his first start for the senior national team, made a sound impression, although without showing off his best repertoire of passing and free-kick expertise. Filled in briefly at right-back when Walker was sent off. PA

England secured a late and narrow 1-0 win in Iceland to get their Uefa Nations League campaign off to a winning start on Saturday.

Raheem Sterling's 91st minute penalty proved the difference between the two sides in Reykjavík after the hosts missed their own chance from the spot to earn a draw.

Both sides finished the match with 10 men, England defender Kyle Walker getting sent off in the 70th-minute, before Sverrir Ingi Ingason, whose offence resulted in Sterling's penalty, was shown red in the 89th-minute.
