Alexander-Arnold just had an usual day in the office as he started from his native position at the defense. The Liverpool’s defender hit a superb curler into the top corner was the highlight of an otherwise unconvincing England display, with Grealish revealing he sparked the goal with some unusual motivation beforehand.

“I said ‘if you score this I’ll give you £500’ and then he just slapped it in the top bins. So I owe him now,” Grealish told ITV and quoted by Sky Sports.

Grealish’s national team’s career looks to revive

Grealish, left out of England’s Euro 2024 squad this summer by Gareth Southgate, has enjoyed a revival under interim coach Lee Carsley. The Man City’s ace is expected to find his spot in Three Lion’s since Southgate’s department.

After starring in England’s win against the Republic of Ireland last month when deployed in a central role, Grealish returned to the wing in Helsinki and marked his comeback by opening the scoring.

In another unexpected positional shift, Alexander-Arnold lined up as England’s left-back. While his display will be remembered for his free-kick, it also featured a series of defensive vulnerabilities, with Finland targeting his area of the pitch.

“When you give Trent time, his delivery is fantastic,” summarised Roy Keane on ITV. “But I still can’t believe how bad he is defensively. Against better teams, he’ll get found out.”
