JORDAN PICKFORD – 7

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

KYLE WALKER – 7

Lucky to escape first-half booking for 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 decent chance over bar in first half. Improved in second, but pressure was off by then.

HARRY MAGUIRE – 6

Tested by Senegal’s pace from early on and loose pass led to Sarr chance that should have been buried. Like Stones, will have to show more grace under fire.

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 nerves with opener. Should silence critics with a big-game performance.

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.

JUDE BELLINGHAM – 9

Actually faded a bit after powerful start, but came good again in style to drive England to victory. Fine run and cross for first goal, superb to create second, excellent all round.

BUKAYO SAKA – 7

Justified his starting place by playing his part in first-half operation to stop Sarr and then finally making 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 opener. Broke his tournament duck at perfect time and became a creative hub as England took control.

PHIL FODEN – 8

After finding it hard to get into game, burst into life to start move for opener then tee up Kane for second and Saka for third. Like Saka, repaid Southgate’s faith.

MARCUS RASHFORD (for Saka, 65mins) – 6

A few bursts of pace to keep Senegal on their toes as 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.
