Goals from Jordan Henderson, Harry Kane, and Bukayo Saka helped England beat Senegal 3-0 at the Al Bayt Stadium on Sunday, in the last 16 of the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
Russia 2018 semifinalists England didn't start well against the Africa Cup of Nations champions and were fortunate not to fall behind.
Senegal had a penalty shout ignored by VAR, and Boulaye Dia enjoyed a pair of chances in the opening half hour.
First failing to get a volley on target, Dia was then denied by a strong left hand from Jordan Pickford when Saka messed up a backpass deep in his own half.
In their first well-manufactured team move, however, England pulled ahead when Jude Bellingham picked out Henderson in the box from the left flank to make it 1-0.
