ENGLAND fans got an early Christmas present and ho-ho-hope of England World Cup victory when the Three Lions beat Senegal 3-0 to get to the quarter finals.
Roared on by 20,000 fans in the Al Bayt stadium in Al Khor, Harry Kane's men were everything they could have dreamed of as the Three Lions beat the Lions of the Teranga.
Now England will play the World Cup holders France on Saturday after they beat Poland 3-1.
The Al Bayt stadium in Al Khor was jumping right from the start and when Jordan Henderson scored the first goal after 39 minutes and captain Harry Kane the second just before half time the whole ground erupted.
Bukayo Saka scored the decisive third goal soon into the second half, rewarding Gareth Southgate for his selection after Raheem Sterling was forced to miss the match due to a "family matter" feared to be a burglary. After the final whistle Southgate hugged Jude Bellingham then joined his team applauding fans.
The Three Lions supporters bellowed, "Please don't take me home" as they tried to extend hotel bookings and change their flights.
