ENGLAND eased to a 3-0 victory over Senegal to set up a mouth-watering World Cup quarter-final clash with reigning champions France.
Jordan Henderson’s first half strike from a brilliant Jude Bellingham pullback gave Gareth Southgate’s men the lead.
And Bellingham was then at the heart of England’s second moments before the break.
Starting a blistering counter-attack, the Borussia Dortmund midfielder drove into the Senegal half, riding several challenges before finding Luke Shaw who squared it for captain Harry Kane to rifle home.
It is the Three Lions skipper’s first goal of the tournament and his seventh in the World Cup.
But England were not done there as they extended their advantage after the break.
Phil Foden did superbly to skip beyond Youssouf Sabaly and slide across for Bukayo Saka to bag his third goal in Qatar.
Southgate’s side will now meet holders France at the Al Bayt Stadium on Saturday evening.
