Jordan Henderson put in a fantastic display as England defeated Senegal 3-0 to progress into the quarter finals of the Qatar World Cup.
The Liverpool skipper put the Three Lions ahead in the 38th minute before Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka added their names to the scoresheet.
It was in fact Liverpool’s top transfer target, Jude Bellingham who notched the assist for Henderson’s winning goal as the 19-year-old put in yet another world class performance and becoming the first teenager to register an assist in the World Cup knockout stages.

The understanding between the two midfielders was phenomenal to see, along with another Liverpool target in Declan Rice.
Many Reds across the world will be getting really excited over the sight of the two performing well together, and the celebration after Henderson’s goal has got Liverpool fans even more excited.
Liverpool full-back, Trent Alexander-Arnold, was named on the bench for the match but was an unused substitute and didn’t end up playing a part in the victory.
Gareth Southgate’s side will now face France in the last eight following the French’s 3-1 win against Poland as they look to take a huge step towards the chance to lift the World Cup for the first time since 1966.
