Harry Kane's first goal in the Qatar 2022. However, he now has scored 11 goals in major competitions, one more than Lineker as he became England's all-time record goalscorer at major tournaments.
Threatening Senegal repeatedly during the first half, Jordan Henderson eventually scored the opener in the 38th minute as the Liverpool captain finished Jude Bellinghum's intelligent pass. Harry Kane soon doubled England's lead in the 45th minute before the two sides went into the dressing room with a 2-0 result.
The English men scored once more during the second half through Saka in the 57th-minute, which sent England to the quarter-finals of the tournament.
