England survived a tense opening few minutes and eventually beat Senegal 3-0 in their round of 16 match of the FIFA World Cup 2022 to set up a quarter-final clash with defending champions France.

Jordan Henderson put the Three Lions ahead in the 38th minute before Harry Kane found the back of the net for the very first time in this tournament on the stroke of half time. The skipper is now just 1 behind Wayne Rooney's all-time record of 53 goals for England. 

Bukayo Saka, who was trusted by manager Gareth Southgate over Marcus Rashford despite his two goals in the win over Wales, then sealed the game in the 57th minute.

England now take on a ruthless-looking France on December 11.
