Jamal Musiala – NA. Bizarre introduction for the former England age group player. It was as if Joachim Low was saying: “Have a look at what you could have won.” AFP
ENGLAND RATINGS: Jordan Pickford 8 - Save from Werner his best moment of the first half. Tipped a hard Havertz shot over the crossbar after 48 as Germany started the second half well. Big shouts for key balls. Impressive. Race out to meet Muller who was clear – and shot wide. Getty
Harry Maguire 8 - Picked out with a set-piece in England’s first threat – after 14. Headed on target again after 16. Strong against Muller - man of the match. Booked. AFP
John Stones 7 - Calming players around him. Vocal, but tested in the back three. England’s defence isn’t the issue. EPA
Luke Shaw 7 - Left wing back and wasn’t as involved as he’d hoped in the first half – England didn’t make use of their width. Super cross for the opening goal. He got forward more after Grealish came on. PA
Kyle Walker 7 - Fine in the first half as he moved forward and corrected the mistakes of others in front. Urged crowd to support team in huge final 15 mins. AP
Kieran Trippier 7 - Right wing back and started to find his range with free-kicks and crosses in a tight and cautious first half. Fouled in a yellow card challenge as he tried to force the game and attack. England don’t concede, but seldom score either. AFP
Declan Rice 6 - Booked after 6 minutes as he gave a free-kick away just outside the penalty area under early German pressure. Thankfully for Rice, the shot was blocked by England’s wall. Played too many safe balls – the opposite of Pogba. Another who whipped up the crowd after the goal. Reuters
Kalvin Phillips 7 - Good pass to Sterling after 29. Tidy, engaged and tried – and struggled – to bring Kane into play. Tried with Saka too but they didn’t connect. Clattered Havertz. Booked, but improved throughout the game. Getty
Raheem Sterling 7 - Curling right foot shot well saved by Neuer after 15 as England woke up and stirred the crowd. Effective going one on one and his pace was one of the few true England threats from open play. Got into great positions but seldom chose the right option – until he scored. AFP
Bukayo Saka 6 - Just 19 and the early (only) positive for England in the opening 15 minutes before he faded and became more peripheral. Inexperienced and needed more support from those around him. First player off. Reuters
Harry Kane 6 - Poor in tournament and didn’t touch the ball for 21 minutes. Was almost in after 45 before a sliding challenge from Hummels. Golden Boot winner in the World Cup final, big disappointment in Euro 2020 up until the 86th minute. Went down clutching his knee after 56 but stayed on. Which was fortunate for England as he headed in the second. EPA
SUBS: : Jack Grealish 8 - Brought on to a huge cheer after 68 as England needed to change – and score. Went to the left and made immediate impact. Fed Shaw to cross for the goal. And then Kane for the second. Game changer. Getty
Jordan Henderson N/A - On for Rice after 88 minutes. AP
GERMANY RATINGS: Manuel Neuer 6 - At full stretch, but still relatively untroubled, when pawing away a shot from distance by Sterling. No chance with either of the goals. Getty
Matthias Ginter 5 - Booked for fouling Shaw early on. Sharp in the second half to snub out a break from Saka, but Shaw’s cross went through his legs for Sterling’s goal. EPA
Mats Hummels – 6. Saved his side with head and feet a number of times in the first half, but played the pass to Gnabry which ended up in the Kane goal. AFP
Antonio Rudiger – 4. Looked out of sorts with an unnecessary early foul on Saka. Could have stopped Sterling’s goal at the source but could not keep pace with the England forward. PA
Joshua Kimmich 6 - Nothing like the influence he was touted to be. Did make one break that ended in a free kick on the edge of the box, and sent in some threatening crosses. EPA
Robin Gosens 5 - Might have opened the scoring had he not been eased out of the way of a Kimmich cross by Walker and Trippier. Later booked for a foul on the latter. EPA
Kai Havertz - 7. The brightest of the German attackers, and picked a fine pass for his Chelsea teammate Werner. Sweet hit was tipped over by Pickford with the score at 0-0. EPA
Leon Goretzka 5 - Made one early break, but his influence was limited thereafter. Wasteful in possession a number of times. AP
Toni Kroos 6 - Dictated the tempo of the German play with his range of passing, until his shin was bruised by Phillips. Limited involvement thereafter. AP
Thomas Muller 5 - The veteran’s slide-rule pass sent Goretzka through on goal, and led to an early booking for Rice. Lashed wide when clean through and the goal gaping. Reuters
Timo Werner 4 - Should have opened the scoring, but was thwarted by the outstretched leg of Pickford. His lack of potency led to him being withdrawn for Gnabry in the second half. EPA
SUBS: Serge Gnabry 4 - No impact whatsoever after his second-half introduction, other than to give the ball away frequently, including for the move which led to Kane’s goal. AP
Emre Can NA - Brought on too late to have any influence on proceedings. Getty
Leroy Sane NA - No chance to do anything as he was introduced with his side 2-0 down and time running out. AFP
