Senegal Defeats England 3-1, Tuchel Suffers First Loss as Manager

England suffered a 3-1 defeat to Senegal in a friendly at the City Ground, marking Thomas Tuchel's first loss as England manager and their first-ever defeat against African opposition. England took an early lead through Harry Kane, but Senegal equalized before halftime with a goal from Ismaila Sarr, capitalizing on defensive lapses, particularly from Kyle Walker. Senegal then took the lead after the break with Habib Diarra scoring, and sealed the victory in stoppage time through Cheikh Sabaly. Dean Henderson was busy in goal for England, making multiple saves but ultimately conceding three goals. Jude Bellingham had a late goal disallowed for handball, adding to England's frustrations. The performance drew criticism for England's lack of intensity and defensive errors, and the crowd at the City Ground expressed their displeasure with boos at the final whistle.
