England will play Senegal in the World Cup’s Round of Last 16 on Sunday.

Gareth Southgate’s Three Lions played Wales in their final Group B game.

A goal from Phil Foden and a brace from Marcus Rashford, including a stunning free kick, sealed England’s place at the top of the group and now means they’ll face off against Group A runners-up Senegal on the weekend.

Rashford’s second goal not only gave England a three-goal advantage, but it was also the country’s 100th goal at the World Cup finals.

Wales, on the other hand, will now head home after finishing rock-bottom of the group on just one point.
