As expected, the England boss decided to deploy the Liverpool man in midfield, a role that he has been playing towards the back end of the 22/23 season for his club.
After a positive start, England went ahead on the back of a beautiful pass from Alexander Arnold, who managed to find Bukayo Saka wide on the right-hand side.
The Arsenal man played the ball into the penalty area and was bundled in by Malta defender Ferdinando Apap.
