How England beat Malta 4-0 in Euro 2024 qualifier with goals by Kane, Alexander-Arnold & Wilson

Trent Alexander-Arnold spoke to Channel 4 about playing in his new role in midfield in this match: "I enjoyed it. I love playing football and being on the pitch and representing my country. To play the full 90 minutes, I was happy. After the little break at the end of the season, it was about getting fitness back in my legs. I enjoyed it and I'll remember that one."

On his goal: "I think my first touch was slightly sloppy. I wanted to hit through the ball but I set it outside my body and thought, 'Go across the keeper'. I knew it was going towards the goal as soon as I hit it."

On whether he can see himself continuing to play in midfield: "I don't know. I think potentially. I haven't played it too much but it feels comfortable. It feels natural, I will say that. It's somewhere I can see myself playing. I want to make sure I am regularly on the team sheet and today was a good foundation to build on.

"Hopefully I am one of those players that can be used in a number of positions. I'm not bothered where I play as long as I'm playing. No matter what position I'm playing in, I will give my all and try and win the game.

"Regarding England, the manager has always tried to find a way to get me into the team and, with the quality of the players who play in those positions, it's been difficult to find that. I think the role I've been playing with club football, it's a new avenue. It's still early doors, it's only one match. But it's important that when I get the opportunity, I take it."
