'I owe him!' - Jack Grealish reveals he lost £500 bet to Trent Alexander-Arnold during England's win over Finland

The Manchester City player revealed after the game that he had told Alexander-Arnold he would pay him £500 if he scored the effort from distance. Alexander-Arnold, filling in at left-back, curled the effort into the top left-corner to double the Three Lions' advantage after Grealish broke the deadlock.

Speaking to ITV after the game, Grealish explained: "I said to Trent Alexander-Arnold ‘if you score this free-kick I’ll give you £500’ and he just slapped it in the top bins, so now I owe him."

England bounced back from a disappointing defeat to Greece on Thursday to win comfortably in Helsinki. Grealish opened the scoring after 18 minutes with a low curling effort after being played through by a lovely Angel Gomes pass. Alexander-Arnold's free-kick then made it two before Declan Rice added a third and Finland scored a consolation goal through Arttu Hoskonen.

After settling his debt with Alexander-Arnold, Grealish will return to Manchester City ahead of their clash with Wolves. Meanwhile the defender will play for Grealish's title-rivals Liverpool against Chelsea on Sunday. They will return for England in the next international break in November.
