England set up France quarter-final with World Cup win over Senegal - 6 talking points

England face a huge World Cup quarter-final against France after surviving a scare or two on their way to beating Senegal at Al Bayt Stadium.

Manager Gareth Southgate opted for a front three with Phil Foden on the left, with Raheem Sterling unavailable due to a family matter, but Marcus Rashford's goals against Wales weren't enough for him to start. Foden and Bukayo Saka justified their inclusion, though, both playing their part in a 3-0 victory.

Southgate's team survived an early let-off when Ismaila Sarr fired over from close range, with Aliou Cisse's side perhaps shading the opening half hour. Just as England fans began to worry, though, they took the lead as Jordan Henderson was on hand to finish off a quick break, and it was two before half-time thanks to Harry Kane.
