Gareth Southgate claims England obliterated Wales "spirit" in World Cup mauling

Gareth Southgate claims England broke Wales' morale with their two quick-fire goals early in the second half as the Three Lions pounced into the World Cup last 16.

England sent their neighbours home from Qatar and set up a tie against Senegal with a convincing 3-0 victory on Tuesday evening. The vital moments in the match came shortly after the interval, when Marcus Rashford broke the deadlock with a fine free kick and Phil Foden finished from close range less than two minutes later.

While Rashford added his second after a mazing run in the 68th minute, Southgate suspected the Dragons knew they were beaten over a quarter of an hour earlier, following Foden's tap-in from a Harry Kane square pass.
