Roy Keane hailed Trent Alexander-Arnold ‘s performance as England beat Finland 2-0 on Saturday. The Three Lions returned to Wembley without Gareth Southgate for the first time in more than eight years as Harry Kane marked his 100th appearance with a brace,
while Lee Carsley trusted Trent Alexander-Arnold to start at right-back and provided the assist for Kane’s opener.
“It was brilliant. It was an easy night for him,” Keane told http://ufabet999.app Sport
. “When you give top players time and space on the ball, obviously his decision-making, the types of passes he makes and the speed of his passes.
” Those kinds of passes, not many players can do that. Trent’s passing is excellent and effective.”
Carsley said of the 25-year-old: “We’ve put Trent in a slightly different position with Rico (Lewis). “
You’ve seen a range of passing from Trent, his ability to control the game from deep. And he can also get into the front three.”
The Liverpool star rewarded Carsley’s confidence in him with an assured performance, serving as one of the hosts’ main attacking outlets and setting up the first of Kane’s two goals on the night.
Speaking following the game Keane insisted Alexander-Arnold’s passing sets him apart from most of his contemporaries in world football.
“It’s no surprise, I’ve seen Trent do that for Liverpool this season and throughout his career.”
