England slumped to their first defeat under Thomas Tuchel as Senegal secured a fully deserved victory in the friendly at the City Ground. Tuchel's side laboured badly throughout and were second best to impressive opposition, who became the first African team to beat England's men.

Senegal have won the Africa Cup of Nations once — in 2021. In 2002, they played in their first ever World Cup and managed to reach the quarter-finals. At the last World Cup, in Qatar, they were knocked out in the round of 16 by England.

England will (hopefully) be preparing for the World Cup in the heat of the United States, Mexico and Canada. There are qualifiers to be won, but Thomas Tuchel’s team should be there – despite two awful performances in the last four days.
