England’s Winning Streak Continues with 3-1 Victory over Finland
Grealish’s Goal and Alexander-Arnold’s Stunning Free-Kick Seal the Deal
In a thrilling match, England secured a 3-1 win against Finland, thanks to goals from Jack Grealish, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Declan Rice. The victory marked a much-needed comeback for the team after their historic loss to Greece.
Grealish, who opened the scoring in the first half, made a lighthearted wager with Alexander-Arnold before the Liverpool defender took a 74th-minute free-kick. “I joked with him that if he scored, I’d give him £500,” Grealish revealed in an interview with ITV. Alexander-Arnold’s stunning set-piece goal left Grealish owing him the promised amount.
A Dominant Performance with Room for Improvement
Despite their convincing win, England’s players felt they could have scored more goals, particularly towards the end of the game when the Finnish defense was more open. “We’re a bit gutted to concede from a set-piece,” Grealish admitted. However, the team was relieved to secure a much-needed win.
Rice Praises Grealish’s Exceptional Form
Declan Rice, who scored England’s third goal, praised his teammate Grealish for his outstanding performance. “When we’ve got a Jack Grealish who is happy and smiling and playing well, he’s a massive boost for England,” Rice said. Grealish’s recent form has been impressive, with the Manchester City winger scoring consistently for both his club and country.
A Promising Sign for England’s Future
The win against Finland marked a positive turn for England’s national team, which had faced criticism after their loss to Greece. With players like Grealish and Alexander-Arnold showcasing their skills, the team’s future looks promising. As Rice noted, a confident and in-form Grealish is a significant asset for England.
