Harry Kane scored two goals on his 100th appearance for England, yet it was Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold who stole the show against Finland.

The defender assisted Kane’s opening goal with the English media hailing Alexander-Arnold’s performance as the fullback once again thrived in the right-back position under interim manager Lee Carsley.

With Jamie O’Hara praising Alexander-Arnold for his passing performance against Finland, the Liverpool star managed to overcome his post-Euros blues in fantastic style for England, with the defender looking like a man reborn.

And Kane shared his verdict on Alexander-Arnold’s performance against Finland.

Alexander-Arnold hailed by Kane after ‘top’ England performance

Speaking to ITV after the game, Kane was full of praise for Alexander-Arnold, with the England captain hailing the Liverpool maestro for how the defender exploited Finland’s defence and managed to create chances.

With Alexander-Arnold already enjoying a fantastic season under Arne Slot, the right-back translating his performances for Liverpool to England on the international stage is a big boost for defender’s career with the Three Lions.

And Kane was seemingly amazed with what he saw from Alexander-Arnold, with the Bayern Munich star in awe with the fullback’s display and how well the Liverpool man has performed this international break for the Three Lions.

Kane said when asked about Alexander-Arnold: “Great performance. He backed up another top performance how he played against Ireland as well. We know what Trent can do when he hits into those pockets and looks forward and has runners in behind, you can see that today.”

England have cracked the code on how to get the best out of Alexander-Arnold

Alexander-Arnold’s England career has been an interesting one, with the 25-year-old viewed as a potential midfield option alongside Declan Rice given how many options the Three Lions have at right-back.

However, with Kyle Walker’s international career coming to an end, Reece James constantly unavailable and Ben White self-declared not up for selection, right-back seems to be where Alexander-Arnold will play his football for England.

And based on this international break, this could be the right move for the Liverpool star, who shone against the Republic of Ireland and now Finland back in his natural right-back position.
