Senegal have become the first African team to beat England. The international friendly match took place on Tuesday at Nottingham’s City Ground.
Senegal’s Ismaïla Sarr, Habib Diarra and Cheikh Sabaly each scored a goal. While Harry Lane netted one for England.
Football fanbases, especially African fanbase, recall ex-England footballer turned pundit, Jamie Carragher’s previous statement that African Cup of Nations (AFCON) was not an important tournament.
Senegal were the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) champions in 2021. The friendly match against England has proven African players–AFCON competitors–worthy opponents against strong England star-packed side, at least, according to fanbases.
