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. Four days after Greece earned their first ever win over England at Wembley, Lee Carsley’s side were again far from convincing for long periods in Helsinki.

England got back to winning ways by beating Finland 3-1 in the Nations League on Sunday. After the shock 2-1 home loss to Greece on Thursday, goals from Jack Grealish, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Declan Rice secured victory in Helsinki.

Lee Carsley has said that England will be “a little bit more conventional” against Finland on Sunday night than they were against Greece. England lost 2-1 at Wembley on Thursday after Carsley’s experimental striker-less line-up backfired in a disastrous performance.
