Qatar: In the Pre Quarter Finals of the FIFA World Cup played on Sunday, England defeated Senegal 3-0 and entered the quarter finals. Captain Harry Kane, Jordan Henderson and Bukayo Saka scored goals for England. Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden were instrumental in two goals. England, who reached the semi-finals of the last World Cup in Russia, will now face defending champions France at the same Al Bayt Stadium on Saturday.
Henderson scored on a pass to give the team a 1-0 lead
In the 38th minute of the match against Senegal, Henderson scored on a pass given by England’s Bellingham to give the team a 1-0 lead. Earlier, Senegal had created scoring chances but they were not successful. In the first half injury time, Henderson made a powerful move to pass the ball to Foden and he converted the pass to Kane to double England’s lead. Saka then turned Foden’s cross into the goal in the 57th minute to seal the team’s 3-0 victory. Kane said after the match that we enjoyed the match but obviously our focus is on the next match. It could be a tough match. France are the defending champions but it will be a good match.
Harry Kane is just one goal away from Wayne Rooney’s all-time goalscoring record for England
England captain Harry Kane’s magic has not worked so much in this world cup and he scored his first goal in this world cup in the match against Senegal. Kane’s goal was his 52nd for England, one goal behind Wayne Rooney’s record for the most goals for the country. He also overtook Gary Lineker as his country’s top scorer in a major football tournament with his 11th goal.
