The England team celebrated tonight (between Sunday and Monday) the smooth promotion to the quarter-finals of the World Cup after the easy 0:3 over Senegal in the round of 16.
Gareth Southgate's side secured a well-deserved victory with goals from Jordan Henderson, Harry Kane and Bokaio Saka heading into Saturday's meeting with world champions France.
Harry Kane, who scored his first goal in Qatar and became the outstanding scorer of the Three Lions team in the Euros and the World Cup together, summed up the game: "This time I had a lot of time and the ball fit perfectly on my leg. When I score I'm happy, that's how it is with strikers."
