England reaches World Cup quarterfinals, beats Senegal 3-0

Associated Press  

AL KHOR, Qatar — Like all great strikers, Harry Kane’s timing was perfect. The England captain got off the mark Sunday, scoring his first goal at this year’s World Cup in a 3-0 victory over Senegal that set up a must-see match against France in the quarterfinals. “I feel good and hopefully this can start a good run for me personally because I know that will help the team as well.” It certainly was a good time for Kane to end his dry spell in Qatar because Kylian Mbappe, the tournament’s leading scorer with five goals, is waiting to face England on Saturday at Al Bayt Stadium. “ is a world class player, has already delivered in big moments in this tournament and in previous tournaments.” Kane scored six goals at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, each one helping England reach the semifinals. “There is nobody I would rather have in that moment bearing down on goal, a really clinical finish.” England’s great strength at this year’s World Cup has been the amount of different goal threats it has, and another emerged on Sunday when Jordan Henderson gave his team the lead.
