England have reached the knockout stages of the World Cup in Qatar, after finishing first in Group B.
Gareth Southgate’s team began their tournament with a 6-2 thrashing of Iran, followed by a frustrating 0-0 draw with USA.
They rounded out their group-stage campaign with a win against Wales on Tuesday (29 November), a result that saw England finish first in the pool.
After a first half that they dominated but ended goalless, the Three Lions turned on the class after the break as Marcus Rashford scored goals and either side of a Phil Foden finish to secure a 3-0 triumph over their British rivals.
That has set them up to play the runners-up of Group A, Senegal, on Sunday 4 December.
Earlier on Tuesday, Netherlands beat Qatar 2-0 after goals from Cody Gakpo and Frenkie de Jong to ensure they topped the group.
Meanwhile, strikes from Ismaila Sarr and Kalidou Koulibaly sealed a dramatic win for Senegal against Ecuador, the 2-1 result securing the African champions second place in Group A – and eliminating their beaten opponents.
Therefore, Group B runners-up USA – who beat Iran 1-0 to seal their place – will play Netherlands in the last 16 on Saturday 3 December.
England vs Senegal will kick off at 7pm on Sunday 4 December.
