EnglandJordan Pickford Got a hand to Cipenga’s strike but could have done better. Will be relieved that England rescued themselves. 5Djed Spence Must take some blame for the goal and general confusion in defence. Offered occasional threat in attack. 4Ezri Konsa Had a nightmare afternoon. Caught out for the opening goal, always looked panicked in possession. 4Marc Guéhi The only England defender who seems comfortable on the ball. Time for a new partner? 7Nico O’Reilly Made far too many basic mistakes, not a defender. His future must be further up the pitch. 5Elliot Anderson Often found himself outnumbered in midfield but found his rhythm and came close to scoring. 7Declan Rice Struggled to impose himself on proceedings until moving to right-back. Poor delivery from set pieces. 5Noni Madueke Lacked end product when it matters despite promising moments. Was a spectator for opening goal. 5Jude Bellingham Will still be wondering how he didn’t score after having three efforts saved. But played his part in comeback. 8Jude Bellingham could not find a way past Lionel Mpasi in the DRC goal. Photograph: Colin Hubbard/APMarcus Rashford Summed up England’s awful start by miscontrolling ball out of play. Last contribution was a terrible cross. 3Harry Kane England’s saviour yet again. Where would Thomas Tuchel be without his captain? Probably out of a job. 9Subs: Bukayo Saka (for Madueke 60) A slow start but looked dangerous with a couple of runs. Has to start against Mexico. 7; Anthony Gordon (for Rashford 60) Two assists off the bench showed why he is joining Barcelona next season. 9; Eberechi Eze (for Spence 70) Exerted his influence as England chased the game. 7; John Stones (for Rice 90) Late sub as England saw out win. 6DR CongoLionel Mpasi Three brilliant saves in first half and another from Bellingham. But will be disappointed not to have stopped Kane’s first. 8Aaron Wan-Bissaka The Croydon-born right back produced a brilliant goal-line clearance and was dangerous in attack. 8skip past newsletter promotionafter newsletter promotionAxel Tuanzebe Rashford’s old school friend was a towering presence in the heart of DR Congo’s defence and made some key blocks. 7Chancel Mbemba Brilliant pass to set up Cipenga’s goal and kept Kane quiet for most of the game. But not long enough. 6Arthur Masuaku Former West Ham defender kept Madueke relatively quiet but struggled against Saka when he came on. 6Nathanaël Mbuku A lively presence down the right flank. He almost scored just before being taken off. 7Ngal’ayel Mukau More than played his part in DRC’s physical approach. The Lille midfielder looks to have a bright future. 8Ngal’ayel Mukau profileSamuel Moutoussamy The powerhouse with a distinctive haircut was a formidable obstacle, although tired in the second half. 7Noah Sadiki The Sunderland midfielder was everywhere. No wonder all the big clubs in the Premier League have been looking at him. 8Brian Cipenga What a performance. Took his goal brilliantly and just about landed the back-flip celebration. 8Yoane Wissa Had a golden chance to make it 2-0 in the first half but couldn’t take it. Proved to be a pivotal moment. 6Subs: Meschack Elia (for Mbuku 64) Showed raw pace in first duel with O’Reilly. 6; Théo Bongonda (for Cipenga 75) Little impact after replacing goalscorer. 5; Edo Kayembe (for Mukua 75) Tried to inject some energy into tired legs. 5; Joris Kayembe (for Moutoussamy 89) Came on as DRC chased the game. 5; Fiston Mayele (for Masuaku 89) A late attacking substitute. 6
