England fell into a 3-1 defeat against Senegal in an international animated, with a large number of goals from the second half ensuring an African victory first over the three lions.
Despite taking an early advantage through Captain Harry Kane, England could not take advantage of his strong start.
Thomas Tuchel’s very changed England opened the score in the 7th minute, when Kane went home from close to an effort by Anthony Gordon.
The goal was a brilliant start for the hosts, who dominated possession and moved the ball confidently in the early stages.
The Senegal, however, began to grow in the game. Dean Henderson was running several times, making key savings by Nicolas Jackson, Ismaila Sarr and Idrissa Gueye.
The pressure was paid in the 40th minute when Sarr struck in a Jackson square ball and shot in the lower corner to score the score 1-1 before the half.

The two executives sounded the changes in the second half. England introduced Jude Bellingham, Noni Madueke and Morgan Gibbs-White to try to regain control, while Senegal took Cheikh Sabaly and Pape Gueye, who would make crucial contributions.
The turning point came in the 62nd minute. Kalidou Koulibaly climbed the ball on the road to Habib Diarra, which ended from a tight angle ahead of Henderson to give Senegal a 2-1 lead.
The goal led to the rhythm of England, and although Bellingham thought briefly that he had equalized with a header, VAR discarded the effort for a handball in the accumulation.
England continued to move forward, creating possibilities through Madueke and Bellingham, but did not have the avant -garde in front of the goal.
Substitute Ivan Toney missed a late head of the post, as frustration was increased.
Senegal sealed the victory in time of stoppage with a counterattack of textbooks. Lamine Camara led the load and found Sabaly unmarked in the box, and the midfielder was quietly placed in the lower corner to get 3-1.
The result will be a concern for England, which seemed to be disassociated in defense and wasted in attack as the game took. And after bewildering against Andorra a few days earlier, the eyebrows rise to the national team.
