However, victory for Gareth Southgate s men was again overshadowed by booing from supporters as the players took the knee before kick-off.
Southgate s selection will also be questioned as he named an experimental line-up with five players who are not part of his final squad making an appearance at some point in the game.
There is still one place up for grabs in Southgate s 26-man squad, though, due to an injury to Trent Alexander-Arnold.
