Senegal became the first African team to beat England in 22 games on Tuesday, winning 3-1 in a friendly at the City Ground in Nottingham, UK
The result meant Senegal stretched their unbeaten streak to 24 games, thanks to goals from Ismaila Sarr, Habib Diarra and Cheikh Sabaly.
England’s loss, which included a disallowed late goal from Jude Bellingham for a handball in the build-up, was their first defeat in four games under new manager Thomas Tuchel.
“Not good enough,” captain Harry Kane told reporters.
“We had moments, but with and without the ball things aren’t clicking, we’re not finding the right tempo. We’ve lost that aggressive nature that we had.”
England — with 10 changes from Saturday’s 1-0 lacklustre World Cup qualifying win over Andorra — took the lead when Kane struck in the seventh minute.
This was after Senegal goalkeeper Edouard Mendy saved Anthony Gordon’s shot but spilled the ball into the striker’s path.
The hosts conceded for the first time under Tuchel when Sarr caught Kyle Walker napping to poke in Nicolas Jackson’s cross in the 40th minute.
