The direct Sarr swapped wings with Ndiaye early to attack England’s weaker right side, dovetailing nicely with overlapping full-back Diouf. With Kyle Walker too narrow and Bukayo Saka too high, Senegal manufactured constant two-on-ones.

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.

England and Senegal faced off in a men's teams international friendly match ahead of next year's World Cup which ended up being an exciting contest. In the end, it finished as an upset too.
