Senegal etched its name into the history books last night, becoming the first-ever African nation to defeat England in a senior international football match. The Lions of Teranga secured a resounding 3-1 victory over the Three Lions in a friendly encounter at Nottingham City Ground Stadium, delivering a shock first defeat for newly appointed German coach Thomas Tuchel.
Senegal's goals came from Ismaila Sarr, Habib Diarra, and Cheikh Sabaly, showcasing a dominant attacking performance. While England's captain Harry Kane managed to pull one back for his side, it wasn't enough to prevent the historic upset.
The match, notably officiated by groundbreaking French referee Stéphanie Frappart, will undoubtedly be remembered as a significant milestone for African football and a wake-up call for the English squad.
