Victory in Nations League
Finland v England LIVE from 6pm
England's national soccer team responded to their home defeat against Greece with a 3:1 win against Finland on Sunday evening. Jack Grealish (18th), Trent Alexander-Arnold (74th) and Declan Rice (84th) scored for the "Three Lions" in a game that was otherwise devoid of chances, with Arttu Hoskonen scoring the consolation goal in the 87th minute.
Although the English visitors lived up to their role as favourites right from the start - which was also reflected in their 70 per cent possession - there were no major highlights, with only Grealish's beautifully taken goal to give the visitors the lead giving interim coach Lee Carsley cause for celebration.
The second half was similarly uneventful before the game picked up again in the closing stages. Alexander-Arnold's free-kick landed in the corner of the net, and a few minutes later Arsenal professional Rice made it 3-0. Hoskonen's consolation goal shortly before the end of the game was nothing more than cosmetic.
