Goals from Jordan Henderson, Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka saw Gareth Southgate’s troops march into a quarter-final clash with France.

But star of the show was 19-year-old midfielder Jude Bellingham – who bagged an assist in the first half and was at the heart of action for England’s second.

England Ratings

JORDAN PICKFORD – 7

Important one-handed save from Boulaye Dia when Senegal were on top. A much less worrying second half. Distribution improved from the group stage.

KYLE WALKER – 7

Lucky to escape a first-half booking for a foul on Ismaila Sarr.

Otherwise did a decent job on the dangerman but that restricted his impact at the other end. Bring on Mbappe!

JOHN STONES – 6

Looked on edge, uncharacteristically careless with the ball and headed a decent chance over the bar in the first half.

Improved in the second, but the pressure was off by then.

HARRY MAGUIRE – 6

Tested by Senegal’s pace from early on and loose pass led to Sarr’s chance that should have been buried.

Like Stones, will have to show more grace under fire.

Harry Maguire was dominant at the back

LUKE SHAW – 7

Did what he had to do, and a lot more calmly than his centre-backs.

Had less to worry about on his side than Walker and so was able to offer a bit more going forward.

JORDAN HENDERSON – 8

Worked his socks off pressing the ball and shutting off passing lanes, then burst through to ease England’s nerves with the opener.

Should silence critics with a big-game performance.

Jordan Henderson enjoyed one of his best England games

DECLAN RICE – 8

England’s steady Eddie kept his head while some about him were losing theirs.

Full of running and heart as England’s midfield turned the game and saved the day.

England’s midfield was held together by Declan Rice

JUDE BELLINGHAM – 9

Actually faded a bit after a powerful start, but came good again in style to drive England to victory.

Fine run and cross for the first goal, superb to create the second. Excellent all around.

Jude Bellingham had another outstanding game

BUKAYO SAKA – 7

Justified his starting place by playing his part in the first-half operation to stop Sarr and then finally made his presence felt at the other end by scoring third.

HARRY KANE – 7

Fed off scraps until his fine through ball to Bellingham led to the opener.

Broke his tournament duck at the perfect time and became a creative hub as England took control.

Harry Kane was vital to England’s win

PHIL FODEN – 8

After finding it hard to get into game, he burst into life to start the move for the opener then teed up Kane for the second and Saka for third.

Like Saka, he repaid Southgate’s faith.

SUBSTITUTES

MARCUS RASHFORD (for Saka, 65mins) – 6

A few bursts of pace to keep Senegal on their toes as the match petered out

JACK GREALISH (for Foden, 65mins) – 6

As against Wales, kept possession well without threatening much

ERIC DIER (for Stones, 77mins) – 6

An uneventful run-out but useful if he is to be called upon against France

MASON MOUNT (for Bellingham, 77mins) – 6

Pressed high to keep Senegal from having a sniff of a consolation

KALVIN PHILLIPS (for Henderson, 82mins) – 6

Gained a few more minutes on the pitch as Southgate rested legs
