It was a difficult night for the Three Lions in Munich after Jonas Hoffmann struck at the start of the second half.
German pressure made a second for the hosts seem more likely to equalize, but England returned to the game with chances for Kane and Rahim Stirling.
With only minutes left, Kane buried the penalty won by the striker after a VAR review to ensure a tie.
This is how the people of Gareth Southgate evaluated in Munich …

Jordan Pickford – 5
Kicking and mishandling. I got my hand on goal, but defeated by force.
Kyle Walker – 5
He was struggling to cope with Musiala running inside, and he seemed uneasy about the return of the right-back, which is strange considering he plays there every week. The worst performance in an English shirt for a while.
John Stones – 6
Most composed of the back line of England in the face of the intense German press.
Harry Maguire – 5
Weak against Havertz for a rejected goal by Germany, after which he was withdrawn from a position to hit Hoffmann. In this form, his place in the back four is even harder to justify than in the top three, when ball skills at least come into play.

Kieran Tripier – 6
Selected to the left back by necessity, but this was another night when the need for a natural position was emphasized.
Declan Rice – 7
The standards have slipped against Hungary, but not here. Excellent in the middle of the field, especially after the early departure of Phillips quickly changed the balance of the pair.
Calvin Phillips – N / A
In an early collision he received an unpleasant blow to the thigh. She tried to run away, but he couldn’t walk.
Mason Mount – 5
Neuer tested out of range when Stirling may have slipped. Pressing is largely ineffective.

Bukayo Saka – 5
Virtually anonymous for 45 minutes, then came to life with two decent efforts during the first half. Poor again after the break.
Rahim Stirling – 6
He won his 75th match and tried to take the game to Germany, but was relatively quiet on his return from illness, until the arrival of Grealish caused a change inside and some intelligent connection.
Harry Kane – 7
The deep fall is often a source of frustration, but England needed it here to help strengthen it. He missed two big chances, but removed the great late point shot for the 50th goal for England.
Substitutes
Jude Bellingham (Phillips 14 ‘) – 6
An unexpected early opportunity arose from Phillips’ injury. He didn’t grab it right away, but he created several dangerous situations by winning the ball at a high level and impressing more as the game continued.
Jack Grillish (Mount 73 ‘) – 7
The introduction immediately sparked England’s best period of the second half. There are two great chances for Kane and he will definitely start against Italy.
Jarod Bowen (Saka 80 ‘) – 6
Another influential man with a low cross somehow stayed out.
Unused: Pope, Ramsdale, James, Guehi, Cody, Alexander-Arnold, Ward-Prouse, Gallagher, Abraham
