Full-backs Kyle Walker and Danny Rose proved influential for Gareth Southgate's side over the 90 minutes and, between them, had a hand in all three England goals.
It was Kyle – winning plenty of headers from Joe Hart’s kicking all night – who was quickest to react to Raheem Sterling's blocked shot to send in a cross from the right that was nodded in by Daniel Sturridge midway through the first half of the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier.
Rose then did likewise five minutes after the break, his delivery from the opposite side steered in by Adam Lallana, before the left-back won the corner from which Gary Cahill glanced in number three just beyond the hour mark.
