ENGLAND AVOIDED fresh embarrassment after their Greek tragedy as Trent Alexander-Arnold’s superb free-kick inspired a 3-1 win against Finland in the Nations League on Sunday.
However, in the ‘land of a thousand lakes’, it was far from plain sailing for Carsley, who is in the spotlight as the Football Association ponder who should succeed Southgate on a permanent basis. Advertisement Carsley is expected to remain in charge for England’s trip to Greece on November 14 followed by Ireland’s visit to Wembley three days later.
Grealish, Kyle Walker, Marc Guehi and Angel Gomes also came into a team that found it hard going at times against a Finland side 60 places below them in FIFA’s world rankings.Gomes’ sloppy pass deep inside his own half left England exposed in the opening moments, but Topi Keskinen wasted the chance as he scuffed wide from 10 yards.
Grealish timed his run perfectly to apply the finishing touch from close range for his fourth England goal. England were still vulnerable at the back and Keskinen should have done better than shoot straight at Henderson after the visitors carelessly conceded possession.
