Bukayo Saka scored his first international goal and the only strike of the match with an angled 56th minute finish.
Saka along with Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish impressed for the Three Lions, who were without a host of Manchester City and Chelsea starters due to their participation in last weekend’s UEFA Champions League final.
Performance aside, Alexander-Arnold was the major talking point, limping off in the dying minutes with a quad issue.
“We’ve got to see, it’s obviously not a good sign that he’s had to walk off the pitch, and he was in some discomfort,” England boss Gareth Southgate told Sky Sports.
“We’re so close to the finals that for any player, injuries makes them a doubt. But we will just have to see over the next 48 hours.”
