“Every match you play is a different challenge, with tactical problems to resolve,” England manager Gareth Southgate told the FIFA press.

“We have stepped up and are answering those questions. The quality of the moves for our goals was outstanding and the finishes were absolutely ruthless.

“This [France quarter-final] is the acid test for us. We know it is a step up, but we are a team that has garnered so much experience, we look threatening and are scoring goals.” He spoke.

“We are going to celebrate tonight but it is knockout football now so we will have to recover and then think about the next opponent. Senegal went man-to-man and were very physical, but it was about biding our time and keeping the ball moving more.” Phil Foden told ITN after the match

“I don’t want to big him [Bellingham] up too much because he is still young but he’s one of the most gifted players I have ever seen. He has no weakness in his game.

“I think he will be the best midfielder in the world.

“They [France] look like the strongest in the competition up to now. We back ourselves every day and we are confident.”
