England qualify for World Cup knockout rounds with emphatic 3-0 win vs Wales

England will play Senegal in the World Cup round of 16 on Sunday.

Gareth Southgate’s Three Lions played Wales in their last Group B match.

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 face Group A runners-up Senegal at the weekend.

Rashford’s second goal not only gave England a three-goal lead, it was also the country’s 100th goal in the World Cup final.

Wales, on the other hand, will now return home after finishing bottom of the group with just one point.
