    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’s early goal settled the nerves before Trent Alexander-Arnold scored an excellent free-kick and Declan Rice scored England’s third.

    A defeat would have been unthinkable for Lee Carsley and would have badly damaged England’s 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.

    Lee Carsley is set to play Trent Alexander-Arnold at left-back in England's Nations League match against Finland on Sunday.

    Liverpool defender Alexander-Arnold has started all of the games since Carsley took on the role of interim head coach.

    Carsley referenced that Alexander-Arnold could play at left-back when he announced the squad earlier this month.

    The 50-year-old has said he will "freshen the team up" following the 2-1 defeat by Greece on Thursday.

    Carsley did not name a striker in that loss and has said his team selection will be more "conventional" for this match.

    Harry Kane and Jack Grealish, who missed the first fixture of this international break because of injury, are likely to come in to the starting XI after coming through two days of training.

    Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi is also expected to start at centre-back.
