ENGLAND
Joe Hart (GK) - Could hardly be blamed for Holland's three goals but meanwhile made a couple of excellent saves and looks quite at home between the Wembley posts. 7/10
Micah Richards (RB) - Foolishly ostracised by Fabio Capello, clearly the best right back available, though Kyle Walker could displace him in time due to his extraordinary pace. Was wasted at CB in the final half hour. 7/10
Chris Smalling (CB) - Was given a headache by Huntelaar in more ways than one but coped admirably with an ineffectual van Persie in the first half. 6/10
Gary Cahill (CB) - His Naples nightmare would appear to be behind him. A commanding performance plus showed his goal threat at the other end. Took his goal assuredly. 7/10
Leighton Baines (LB) - In better club form than Cole but lacks the explosive flair of the Chelsea full back. Didn't have a chance to show the quality of his set pieces. 6/10
Scott Parker (DM) - A performance to vindicate Stuart Pearce's decision to make him captain, though he faded a little towards the end. High quality tackling throughout. 7/10
Gareth Barry (CM) - Satisfactory but made to look better by Milner and Young who appeared uncomfortable in the second half formation. 6/10
Steven Gerrard (AM) - Looked totally off the pace and his withdrawal caused problems with England's tactics but not performance. 4/10
Adam Johnson (RW) - Gave Pieters a torrid time in the first half, England's brightest attacking and creative threat. Has probably played his way back into the Euros squad. 7/10
Danny Welbeck (F) - Has pace and power but was too often isolated in the England attack. Didn't have a chance to threaten Stekelenburg. 6/10
Ashley Young (LW) - A poor performance redeemed by his fine goal in the last minute. Didn't provide service on the wing and looked a lost soul in central midfield in the second half. 6/10
Substitutes:
Daniel Sturridge (F) - England's best player, looked confident and ambitious. Produced one classy drag-back and shot but fluffed his best chance. 8/10
James Milner (CM) - England's second half midfield lacked cohesion with Milner and Young in the middle but he lacks the pace needed on the wing at international level. 5/10
Stewart Downing (LW) - Capable but unspectacular. Put simply, he is down the list when it comes to England's wide players. 5/10
Phil Jones (RB) - Should have played at CB when Smalling went off injured. Nevertheless, looked lively, composed and produced a fine threaded pass for Young's goal. 7/10
Theo Walcott & Fraizer Campbell (F) - Came on too late to be fairly assessed, though Walcott had a touch in Young's goal.
HOLLAND
Maarten Stekelenburg (GK) - Produced one fine save from Sturridge but well beaten by Cahill and Young. 6/10
Khalid Boulahrouz (RB) - His performance would have been enjoyed by Gregory van der Wiel, who will surely start at the Euros if he is fit. 5/10
John Heitinga (CB) - Coped well with Welbeck but couldn't stem the England tide in the last few minutes. 7/10
Joris Mathijsen (CB) - A hugely underrated defender only beaten by Cahill's fine goal. 7/10
Erik Pieters (LB) - Was glad to see the back of Johnson. A good young prospect but no Gio van Bronckhorst. 6/10
Nigel de Jong (DM) - Solid but unspectacular. Dutch public want to see him dropped for the more attacking Rafael van der Vaart. 6/10
Mark van Bommel (DM) - Conservative and powerful but clumsy in the tackle. Should have been booked in the first half. 5/10
Wesley Sneijder (AM) - A mixed bag. Oozes class on the ball but spent long periods on the periphery, sitting too deep. Not in a fine run of form. 5/10
Arjen Robben (F) - A class apart. Two splendid goals, even if the second was deflected in off Cahill, capped a brilliant performance. Won the game for Holland on his own. 9/10
Robin van Persie (F) - Subdued and in the back pockets of Smalling and Cahill. Huntelaar led the line with more conviction, however brief his involvement. 4/10
Dirk Kuyt (F) - Not in the same bracket as the other main forwards in terms of quality but his cross for Huntelaar's goal was divine. 6/10
Substitutes:
Stijn Schaars (LB) - Normally a midfielder but filled in well after half time. England's late threat came down the other flank. 6/10
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar (F) - Shot wide, scored with a bullet header, cracked his head on Smalling's in the process, went off again. A bizarre but productive cameo. 7/10
Luuk de Jong (F) - Anonymous replacement for Huntelaar. A squad player at best this early in his international career. 4/10
Urby Emanuelson (AM) - Replaced Sneijder and got involved in the build-up for the winning goal. Plagued by a jack-of-all-trades reputation. 6/10
Ron Vlaar (RB) - His introduction was swiftly followed by two England goals. Holland's first choice back four is top quality but they lack depth. 5/10
