The Three Lions proved too much for the Teranga Lions of Senegal in the round of 16 of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar after a 0-3 defeat to England, BSNSports.com.ng report.

The 2018 World Cup’s Golden Boot winner and England Captain, Harry Kane, ended the first half by decisively doubling the 

scoreline minutes earlier by midfielder Jordan Henderson.

Bukayo Saka delivered the final blow in the 57th minute off a cross from Phil Foden.

Senegal, missing suspended striker Idrissa Gueye and others due to injuries, left their side unable to come together in the face of the dominant English side, despite a notable effort by striker Ismaila Sarr.

With the victory, England goes on to face 2018 Cup champions and cross-channel rivals France at Al Bayt Stadium on Saturday.

The Atlas Lions of Morocco are the only remaining African in the competition and they will face Spain on Tuesday.
