Finland vs England \u2013 A Scrappy Win with Key Takeaways<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In an international friendly that didn\u2019t quite set the football world on fire, England scraped past Finland<\/strong><\/a> in a close encounter. The match saw mixed performances, with some players impressing while others left much to be desired. Angel Gomes\u2019 clever assist<\/strong> was a rare bright spot in an otherwise muted display, while Cole Palmer<\/strong> and Kyle Walker<\/strong> struggled to find their footing. Although England edged out Finland, the victory raised more questions than answers about the team\u2019s form and cohesion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
