England has beaten Senegal 3-0 leaving Morocco as the only African nation currently fighting to lift the World Cup.
Quality goals from Jordan Henderson, Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka propelled England to the quarter-finals of the World Cup.
England was slow to gain ground against the African champions, a side they had never seen before, and endured two scares before two late goals changed the mood of the evening.

Morocco defeated strong football countries such as Belgium and Croatia and reached the round 16 of the World Cup.
