United's England trio advance to quarter-finals

The Three Lions started in sluggish fashion, but made their chances pay, as Gareth Southgate's side scored twice before half-time and added another in the second half to seal what was a comfortable win over their West African counterparts in the end.

England took a while to get going, and had to thwart opportunities for Senegal's Boulaye Dia and Ismaila Sarr before Jordan Henderson opened the scoring. The Liverpool midfielder marauded forward to get on the end of Jude Bellingham's low pass, slotting beyond Edouard Mendy midway through the first period.

This goal spurred the Three Lions into life, and Harry Kane's goal before the break and Bukayo Saka's second-half strike put the game beyond Senegal, setting up a mouth-watering quarter-final between England and France on Saturday.
