ENGLAND 2-0 FINLAND - Report

Harry Kane celebrated a century of England caps by guiding his country to a hard-earned 2-0 UEFA Nations League victory over Finland at Wembley.

The hosts dominated the first half, yet despite enjoying 77% of the possession, they found no way past a resilient visiting defence who largely restricted their opponents to efforts from distance.

Trent Alexander-Arnold twice missed the target from range, while Kane looked most likely to break the deadlock, seeing a header ruled out for offside and having another effort strike.

It was all one-way traffic after the break though, and after Anthony Gordon and Kane had been denied by Lukas Hradecky, the latter finally broke the deadlock with a fizzing strike.

That took the sting out of Finland’s legs, and Kane duly added a second when picked out by substitute Noni Madueke to round off a decent night’s work and maintain Lee Carsley’s 100% record as interim boss.
