England marched into the last 16 of the World Cup as Group B winners after Marcus Rashford’s double and a Phil Foden strike justified their first starts of the tournament in a 3-0 hammering of an outclassed Wales on Tuesday.

But they caved in after the break as Gareth Southgate’s side, who will face Senegal in the next round, took their goals tally in the group to nine. Wales could have reached the last 16 with a victory if the match between Iran and the United States ended level but any hope of that scenario unfolding evaporated rapidly once Rashford smashed home a free kick five minutes after the break.
A minute later Manchester City’s Foden, another of the four changes Southgate made to his starting lineup, converted from close range after a fine low cross from Harry Kane.
Wales, whose talisman Gareth Bale was substituted at halftime having made no impact, looked crestfallen as their first World Cup for 64 years fizzled out.

England’s 0-0 draw with the United States had brought them back down to earth after an opening 6-2 rout of Iran.
But they will go into their last-16 clash with Group A runners-up Senegal full of confidence.
