Trent Alexander-Arnold scored an excellent free-kick to put England 2-0 up in their Nations League game away to Finland.

England were already leading 1-0 through a first half goal from Jack Grealish when they were given a free-kick in an inviting position around 22 yards out in the 74th minute.

Set-piece specialist Alexander-Arnold stepped up to take it, with the Liverpool star scoring in spectacular style.

England went on to add a third goal late on through Declan Rice. However, Finland’s Arttu Hoskonen then found the net.

It is the fourth goal that Alexander-Arnold has scored for his country as England ran out 3-1 winners.
