Much-needed win but questions start again about manager's role
- Published
It was a much-needed win for England against Finland in Helsinki after the poor performance and disappointing loss to Greece at Wembley.
Jack Grealish鈥檚 early goal settled the nerves before Trent Alexander-Arnold scored an excellent free-kick and Declan Rice scored England鈥檚 third.
A defeat would have been unthinkable for Lee Carsley and would have badly damaged England鈥檚 chances of getting out of the second tier of the Nations League.
It was not a completely smooth game for England and Fredrik Jensen should have equalised in the second half when he put the ball over the bar from around six-yards out.
There were moments when the game was flat and England needed to increase the intensity to give Finland problems.
The introduction of Noni Madueke and Ollie Watkins livened up the attack and England scored two of their goals with those two on the pitch.
The talk will move from the pitch to the manager's position now and questions will start about what will happen with the role when the games in November are finished.
