An error-strewn England team looked the most likely to concede in the early stages against Senegal, who did not allow the Three Lions a second to breathe with their effective pressing, but the tide soon turned when 19-year-old Jude Bellingham took the game by the scruff of the neck.

Bellingham set up Jordan Henderson for the opening goal in the 38th minute before playing a huge part in Harry Kane's 52nd England goal just before the break, and Gareth Southgate's decision to bring Bukayo Saka back into the fold was vindicated, as the Arsenal man made it three for England after 57 minutes.

Southgate was delighted to see his side display a streak of "ruthlessness" in another game where a below-par start led to a familiar sense of dread, and a semi-final with Morocco or Portugal now awaits if the Euro 2020 runners-up can send the holders packing.

在对阵塞内加尔的比赛中，失误百出的英格兰队看起来最有可能在比赛开始阶段就输掉比赛，因为塞内加尔队的有效压制没有让三狮军团喘息一秒钟，但19岁的裘德·贝灵汉(Jude Bellingham)很快就扭转了局面。

贝灵汉在第38分钟助攻亨德森首开纪录，中场休息前哈里·凯恩打进第52球，他也发挥了重要作用。加雷斯·索斯盖特让布卡约·萨卡回归的决定被证明是正确的，这位阿森纳球员在57分钟后为英格兰队打进了第3球。

索斯盖特很高兴看到他的球队在另一场比赛中表现出一连串的“无情”，在这场比赛中，低于正常水平的开局导致了熟悉的恐惧感，如果2020年欧洲杯亚军能够让卫冕冠军离开，那么半决赛将与摩洛哥或葡萄牙进行。
