England have qualified for Euro 2024 with two games to spare after coming from behind to defeat Italy thanks to two goals from Harry Kane and a brilliant Marcus Rashford strike UEFA
Former West Ham striker Gianluca Scamacca punished some slack England defending to fire Italy into an early lead, in what was a rematch of the Euro 2020 final at Wembley UEFA
But England hit back as Kane converted a 32nd-minute penalty, which was won by Jude Bellingham following a bursting run into the Italy box UEFA
And Bellingham was heavily involved again as he led an England counter-attack after the break, creating space for Rashford to slam a powerful strike into the corner UEFA
Kane made sure of the victory with another breakaway goal late on - his 61st for England - and it means Gareth Southgate’s side can now begin their preparations for Germany next summer UEFA
Here are how the England players rated at WembleyRecommendedEngland have qualified for Euro 2024 — now it’s about winning itJude Bellingham once again proves he is the key for England’s Euro 2024 hopesJordan Pickford, 7The goalkeeper made some key stops with the match level in the first half, particularly from Destiny Udogie’s run shortly before the break UEFA
Italy were poor in the second half and Pickford was barely troubled from there UEFA
Kyle Walker, 6The experienced right back was assured and steady and barely let Stephan El Shaarway have a sniff UEFA
John Stones, 6The centre-back is still working his way up to full fitness but his class on the ball was apparent UEFA
Perhaps caught a yard short of Scamacca for Italy’s opening goal - but England were also second-best throughout the pitch at the time UEFA
Harry Maguire, 6There were spells in the first half where England needed to move it quicker and Maguire was left looking culpable with his ponderous style in possession UEFA
Italy certainly punished some slack defending with the opening goal, but Maguire also grew into the game and made some key blocks UEFA
Given the outside noise, this was a decent performance from the centre-back UEFA

Kalvin Phillips, 4Looked sluggish from the opening 10 minutes, where he was late to a couple of challenges and it resulted in an early yellow UEFA
There were big gaps in midfield, which were the areas Phillips was in the team to fill in his double-pivot with Rice, and he was perhaps fortunate not to be shown a second yellow after another mistimed challenge UEFA

Phil Foden, 8Made some thrilling bursts from central positions and was also heavily involved in England’s brilliant second goal on the counter-attack UEFA
Perhaps still isn’t as threatening on the right wing as Bukayo Saka often is, but shows brilliant flashes of quality in those dangerous inside channels UEFA
Jude Bellingham, 9If there was only one England player who looked sharp in the sluggish opening half hour, it’s no surprise to say it was Bellingham UEFA
Helped bring England level with his burst into the box to win Kane’s penalty and then repeated the trick with a lovely flick and drive forward in the move that led to Rashford’s strike UEFA
England’s main man, at 20 years old, and his display received a standing ovation UEFA
(The FA via Getty Images)Marcus Rashford, 8It’s amazing what a goal can do UEFA
Looked short of confidence in the first half, even as he almost forced a couple of openings in his battle with Di Lorenzo UEFA
But Bellingham’s break allowed Rashford to cut inside from the left and smash a brilliant strike past Gianluigi Donnarumma UEFA
It was a sudden flash of last season’s form UEFA
Harry Kane, 9Brought up his 60th England goal from the spot with a typically cool penalty UEFA
There were times early on where he looked a little more isolated up front than in previous appearances, but from there the quality link-up play with his fellow forwards flowed, with clever touches and booming switches to both Foden and Rashford UEFA
His second goal of the night, as he eased Alessandro Bastoni away and finished, simply oozed the class of an elite striker UEFA

Ted Cruz has been blamed for “cursing” the Houston Astros after they lost to the Texas Rangers on Monday night and were eliminated from the MLB playoffs UEFA
Astros fans had taken to social media to beg the Texas senator to stay well clear of the game due to his growing reputation of jinxing the team UEFA
But, unfortunately, their pleas fell on deaf ears and Mr Cruz showed up at the game anyway UEFA
Following the team’s 11-4 loss, angry fans took to social media to slam him for ignoring their pleas UEFA
“This man does not care about his constituents,” one person wrote on X, formerly Twitter UEFA
“The Astros losing and then Ted Cruz losing his senate seat because enough fans are convinced he cursed the team would be the funniest possible timeline,” another person said UEFA
“This is worse than being the Zodiac Killer,” another person joked UEFA
Fans also pointed out the Astros lost every playoff game Mr Cruz attended this season UEFA
But Mr Cruz hit back at the criticism, strongly denying the existence of a curse UEFA
“For 7 years, Catherine & I have attended nearly EVERY Astros home playoff game,” he wrote on X UEFA
“If they’re going to blame me for our recent home losses, pls also credit us for TWO World Series Championships & SEVEN consecutive ALCS’s—we were there cheering Stros on!”One of the championships the Texas senator was referring to was a 2017 win, which was later revealed to be the result of cheating UEFA
Multiple players ultimately admitted to cheating and an extensive MLB investigation also later confirmed it UEFA
But it seems unlikely the senator’s “curse” is to blame, given the team’s recent successes UEFA
Earlier this year, the Astros won their sixth American League (AL) West title in seven years and went on to play in their seventh consecutive American League Championship Series (ALCS) UEFA

It is not the first time Mr Cruz has been accused of bringing bad fortunes to a UEFA sports team UEFA
In 2018, he was blamed for jinxing the Houston Rockets after the team was eliminated from the NBA playoffs during a game he attended UEFA
One year later, fans blamed him for cursing Texas Tech with a poorly timed tweet UEFA
“35 seconds UEFA
ONE point LEAD UEFA
GO RED RAIDERS!!! #1 Defense,” he tweeted – minutes before the team lost 85-77 to Virginia at the NCAA final UEFA
