Jack Grealish played a crucial role in England’s latest 3-1 win against Finland in the UEFA Nations League.
Grealish has been subject to plenty of praise after his performance on Sunday.
Lee Carsley lauded Grealish’s display for England against Finland — describing his showing as “outstanding.”
Declan Rice sang Grealish’s praises after England beat Finland as well — stating that his countryman possesses something “really special” as a player.
Grealish scored his second goal under Lee Carsley against Finland in three appearances — equalling his tally for the Three Lions in 36 games under Gareth Southgate as he did so with a lovely finish.
The Manchester City winger seems to be thoroughly enjoying playing in an England shirt again — as exemplified by his emphatic finish to open the scoring and leave Lukas Hradecky hapless in goal.
Harry Maguire raves about “top” Jack Grealish after England vs Finland
The 29-year-old seems to be one of the Three Lions’ most in-form players.
The three-time Premier League winner has been trusted by Lee Carsley to play both on the left-wing and as a number 10 during his stint in charge.
As Grealish seems to be thriving after getting on the scoresheet for England against Finland, Harry Maguire was one of the many big names to hail him in the comments section of his Instagram post. Maguire commented, “Top player” followed by a ‘fire’ emoji on his post.
Manchester City teammate Nathan Ake left a pair of ‘clapping’ emojis on Grealish’s post.
Rice left a heart emoji in the comments section.
Both Dean Henderson and Paul Dickov commented with three fire emojis on Grealish’s post.
Jeffrey Schlupp left ‘heart-eyed’ and ‘raised hands’ emojis.
Danny Drinkwater also commented, “Love it bud”, followed by a ‘fire’ emoji.
Where Grealish sits amongst England’s top goalscorers under Lee Carsley
During Lee Carsley’s stint, Grealish has been one of England’s best players as he seems to be reviving his international career in style.
So far, the former England U-21s manager has only managed four games for the senior team. During the 50-year-old’s stint, the Three Lions have scored nine goals.
Here is a list that showcases where Grealish ranks amongst the top goalscorers under Lee Carsley for England.
| ENGLAND PLAYER | GOALS UNDER LEE CARSLEY |
| HARRY KANE | 2 |
| JACK GREALISH | 2 |
| DECLAN RICE | 2 |
| JUDE BELLINGHAM | 1 |
| TRENT ALEXANDER-ARNOLD | 1 |
Despite not even having scored in a Manchester City shirt this season, the former Aston Villa captain is the joint third-highest goalscorer under Carsley.
Like any attacking player, Grealish would be over the moon with his newfound productivity.
Pep Guardiola would be hoping that the treble-winner can find the same goalscoring form for City this campaign.
One of Grealish’s aims once he returns to Manchester City could very well be to become a more reliable goalscorer.
If Grealish can score goals for England, he is well-capable of doing the same for the Sky Blues.
