England Triumphs Over Finland in UEFA Nations League: Trent Alexander-Arnold Shines in 3-1 Victory
England rebounded from their shocking defeat to Greece with a 3-1 win over Finland in the UEFA Nations League on Sunday, inspired by a stunning free-kick from Trent Alexander-Arnold.
This victory in Helsinki came just days after Greece secured their first-ever win over England at Wembley, putting immense pressure on interim manager Lee Carsley.
Despite England's struggle to find their rhythm for much of the game, Jack Grealish opened the scoring with a well-taken finish in the first half.
Finland fought back and created multiple chances but failed to convert. In the second half, Alexander-Arnold's spectacular free-kick extended England's lead, followed by Declan Rice’s powerful strike to secure the win.
While Finland's Arttu Hoskonen managed a late consolation goal, England's third victory in four games under Carsley kept them in the hunt for promotion from UEFA Nations League Group B2.
However, the performance raised questions about Carsley's tactics, especially after the unexpected loss to Greece earlier in the week.
Amidst rumors linking top managers like Thomas Tuchel and Eddie Howe to the England role, Carsley is under the microscope as the Football Association considers a permanent successor to Gareth Southgate.
