Bellingham the star of the show with a goal and assist but unlucky Maguire suffers another disaster
PHIL FODEN and Jude Bellingham answered questions with a goal each as England comfortably saw off Scotland in this 150th anniversary friendly.
Sub Harry Maguire slid an own goal to give the Scots hope before Harry Kane rounded off England’s 3-1 win at Hampden Park.

Boss Gareth Southgate fielded Lewis Dunk alongside Marc Guehi in the middle of a promising, new-look defence.
And Manchester City outcast Kalvin Phillips impressed on his recall in midfield, while Marcus Rashford also justified his start up front.
Here’s how the Three Lions fared on a night when most things came right for Southgate.
AARON RAMSDALE – 6
First half he only had pass-backs to be concerned with as Scots failed to apply pressure.
Assured with feet. But then left helpless by Maguire’s deflection.
KYLE WALKER – 7
His driven ball across the six yard box for England’s opener.
One embarrassing failure to control a simple pass was his sole blemish. One of best right-backs on planet.

KIERAN TRIPPER – 6
Newcastle United full-back had nothing to worry him in opening 45 minutes with Scots offering nothing down right.
Then Robertson changed that second half with well crafted assist.
MARC GUEHI – 6
Crystal Palace centre-back was superb. Cruised it. Built like a brick wall but plenty of class to complement the muscle.
Survived VAR penalty check for handball. Subbed.
LEWIS DUNK – 7
Brighton rock. Imperious in air, comfortably dealing with few troublesome crosses that came into the box.
Squandered England’s first chance with wayward effort. Commanding show.
DECLAN RICE – 7
The £105million man barely broke sweat in the engine room. Effortless on the ball and solid in the tackle. He strutted about, breaking up play, making passes.
KALVIN PHILLIPS – 7
Man City midfielder got a booking for clattering into Adams. He provided the steel but he also showed an assured touch. Dependable performer alongside Rice.
PHIL FODEN – 6
Celebrated a 32nd minute tap in from six yards and that made up for an earlier shocking miss at point-blank range. Felt like he played within himself. Subbed – 6
JUDE BELLINGHAM – 9
Five goals in first four games for Real Madrid and £88 million ace displayed tremendous ability. Clinical finish from 12-yards. Great assist. Booked. Subbed. STAR MAN
HARRY KANE – 7
England’s greatest international goal-scorer and their captain was a subdued presence for much of game. But still goal number 59 for country, 86th cap. Subbed.
MARCUS RASHFORD – 7
Electric pace down left and coming in. Dovetailed well with Bellingham. Flashing footwork added to tough challenge for Hickey. Man Utd frontman subbed with 20 minutes left.
