Harry Kane marked his 100th appearance for England by scoring two goals in a 2-0 victory over Finland. The striker expressed his pride at reaching the milestone and his hunger to score goals and help the team. He also praised the performance of Trent Alexander-Arnold, who provided the assists for both of his goals.
In another game in Group B2, Greece defeated the Republic of Ireland 2-0, with Fotis Ioannidis and Christos Tzolis scoring in the second half. Heimir Hallgrímsson and John O’Shea looked dejected on the sidelines as a few boos rang out at the final whistle.
England’s performance was described as solid, with opportunities created by the likes of Bukayo Saka and Jack Grealish. Despite Finland’s defensive display, England maintained pressure and eventually broke the deadlock through Kane’s goals.
Lee Carsley, the interim manager for England, was pleased with the team’s performance but acknowledged that there is room for improvement. The team still needs to work on being more ruthless in front of goal.
Overall, it was a successful international break for England, with two wins under Carsley’s leadership. The team will now look forward to future matches with excitement and confidence.
