A big match against defending champions France awaits
England had a slow start, but eventually managed to beat Senegal 3-0.
Now he is waiting for a big meeting with France in the quarter-finals of the World Cup.
For a long time it seemed sluggish to the English. In fact, it was Senegal who came closest to taking the lead during the opening round of the Round of 16. Boulay Dia forced Jordan Pickford to save El Araq in the 32nd minute as England struggled to create goal-scoring chances.
But suddenly he went away. With five minutes left in the first half, Harry Kane played the ball to Judd Bellingham, who in turn sent Jordan Henderson in front of the goal.
Bellingham behind the goal
The Liverpool midfielder was emotional in the penalty area and could easily make it 1-0. As if that wasn’t enough for England, the second would also come before half-time.
Also at that time, Bellingham was involved. The talented 19-year-old giant made a one-man raid in midfield before passing the ball to Phil Foden, who was eventually able to help Harry Kane. The striker made no mistake in front of goal, and England managed a 2-0 lead in the second half.
With a two-goal lead still, England could play more relaxed, and so Bukayo Sacas came 3-0 in the 57th minute also logically.
