Twitter explodes as England set up quarterfinal showdown against France with thumping 3-0 win against Senegal

Fans on Twitter erupted as England earned a 3-0 win against Senegal in their 2022 FIFA World Cup Round of 16 clash against Senegal on December 4.

Despite his brace in the last game against Wales, Marcus Rashford was not in the Three Lions' starting lineup. Gareth Southgate decided to name a front three of Bukayo Saka, Phil Foden, and Harry Kane.

Liverpool's Jordan Henderson opened the scoring for the Three Lions in the 38th minute of the game. Jude Bellingham set him up with an accurate pass in the box.

Harry Kane missed a golden opportunity to score at the end of the first half as he skied Bukayo Saka's cross.

However, it didn't take long for Kane to make amends for his error. The Tottenham Hotspur talisman smashed the ball home past Senegalese custodian Edouard Mendy after Phil Foden played him free.

Southgate's side headed into the break with a 2-0 lead.

Foden was the creator-in-chief once again when he set Saka up in the 57th minute of the game. The Arsenal starlet bagged his third goal of the tournament after managing a brace against Iran on the opening matchday.

Here are some of the best reactions across Twitter as England booked their ticket for the quarter-finals of the 2022 FIFA World Cup with their win against Senegal:
