England suffered their first defeat to African teams
England suffered their first defeat to African teams, losing 3-1 to Senegal in a friendly match at City Ground. Thomas Tuchel was looking for a response after England’s unconvincing 1-0 victory over Andorra on Saturday, writes https://xrust.ru/. However, they deservedly lost in Nottingham, as Senegal came back from an early Harry Kane goal scored late in the match and turned the game around. Ismaïla Sarr exploited Kyle Walker’s sluggishness to equalize just before halftime, and Habib Diarra outran Morgan Gibbs-White, finding himself wide open on the right flank to slot the ball between Dean Henderson’s legs shortly after the hour mark. England had chances to equalize, but Édouard Mendy made precise saves, denying Gibbs-White and Bukayo Saka from making an impact, while a goal from substitute Jude Bellingham was ruled out due to Levi Colwill’s handball — a controversial decision late in the game. Any doubts about the outcome were erased when Noni Madueke’s poor free kick in stoppage time allowed Senegal to counterattack, with Youssouf Sabaly calmly scoring past Henderson to secure this historic victory. England left the pitch to boos. England has faced similarly disappointing results in previous June matches — not long ago, they lost 4-0 at home to Hungary in the Midlands — but Tuchel will find little comfort in that as he tries to prepare for next summer’s World Cup.
