World Cup semi-finalists England suffered defeat in their opening Nations League fixture as Spain came from behind to win 2-1 at Wembley.

• Report: England 1-2 Spain
• Relive the action as it happened
• Shaw suffers head injury

Jordan Pickford (goalkeeper) 6

No chance with either goal. Safe handling and good with the ball at his feet.

Your rating: 5.36

Kieran Trippier (right wing-back) 6

Not a great night for one of England's success stories but still a valuable attacking outlet.

Your rating: 5.15

Joe Gomez (centre-back) 6

Looks very much at home at this level. One or two rash moments but Southgate will be delighted he is back.

Your rating: 5.34

John Stones (centre-back) 6

Did not get many opportunities to bring the ball out of defence. Was wrongly booked for a fine tackle.

Your rating: 5.72

Harry Maguire (centre-back) 6

Some crucial interceptions and a danger at set pieces.

Your rating: 5.08

Luke Shaw (left wing-back) 6

Brilliant pass for England's opener but dived in too soon in the build-up to Spain's equaliser. Taken off on a stretcher after an aerial challenge.

Your rating: 5.92

Jordan Henderson (defensive midfield) 5

Struggled as he was outmanoeuvred in midfield - although often short of passing options.

Your rating: 4.51

Dele Alli (attacking midfield) 5

Very quiet game. Barely any impact.

Your rating: 4.30

Jesse Lingard (attacking midfield) 5

Busy but minimal effect here against some disciplined Spain defence.

Your rating: 5.18

Marcus Rashford (forward) 7

England's biggest threat. Scored a fine goal, was denied by a brilliant De Gea save but should have scored late on.

Your rating: 6.24

Harry Kane (forward) 5

"Golden Boot" before kick-off but not much joy after that.

Your rating: 4.28

Substitutes

Danny Rose (for Luke Shaw, 53 mins): Some attacking openings but could not make them pay. 5

Eric Dier (for Jordan Henderson, 64 mins): Barely seen. 5

Your rating: 4.38

Danny Welbeck (for Marcus Rashford, 90+4 mins): Unlucky to see a goal disallowed. No rating

Your rating: 5.24
