England vs Senegal WC 2022 Post-match Analysis: Three Lions crushed the Lions of Teranga

England entered the match against Senegal without the services of Raheem Sterling due to family problems. On the African side, they are also missing a key player, midfielder Idrissa Gueye, due to suspension.

England had a slow start when they were dominated by Senegal while the Lions of Teranga had consistently posed a threat to England's scoreboard. However, England's excellent goalkeeper Pickford kept the ball in the net. They were also fortunate to avoid penalties in the 23rd minute after the ball touched Stones' hand. 

When many England’s fans felt dissatisfied with the performance of the Three Lions, Jordan Henderson made them reserve their opinion. The Three Lions had a rhythmic phase to let Bellingham escape to the right. Dortmund's players stretch inward to let Henderson cushion the ball accurately to break the deadlock.

The England team played more excitedly after they had the lead. Just before the half-time whistle, Senegal's momentum was broken when England scored another goal on a counterattack from a corner, with Harry Kane firing it past Edouard Mendy following some outstanding ball carrying from Jude Bellingham.

Senegal tried their best to find the equalizer when they continuously made changes to change the game. However, England not only stopped Senegal's comeback but also had a goal to confirm the outstanding win in the quarterfinals. In the 57th minute, Foden escaped to speed on the right wing before stretching horizontally to let Saka delicately cushion the ball to increase the score to 3-0 for England. This goal ended all hope for Senegal.

After two rounds, England demonstrated that they deserved to be one of the brightest candidates for the champion's title. They became the team that scored the most goals in the tournament in Qatar so far. The "Three Lions" hit the opponent's net 12 times, three more than France, the second-ranked team. They are also the team with the most clean sheets in the tournament so far, with three clean sheets in four matches. "Three Lions" have only conceded twice since the beginning of the tournament, in the match against Iran on the opening day.

The real challenge for the Three Lions will be facing defending champions France in the quarterfinals. This will be the match that Three Lions needs to show their skill and spirit.
