What West Ham's Declan Rice did in England's World Cup Round of 16 victory over Senegal

Declan Rice completed 90 minutes as England beat Senegal 3-0 in the Round of 16 of the 2022 Qatar World Cup.

The West Ham United captain continued his 100% record of starting every game for the Three Lions at the international tournament on Sunday evening and didn't put a foot wrong in a midfield three alongside Liverpool's Jordan Henderson and Borussia Dortmund's Jude Bellingham.

The latter duo combined for England's opener in the first half, Henderson finishing inside the box after a cut-back from Bellingham. It was 2-0 moments later when Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane found the back of the net for his first goal of the tournament.

Rice protected the backline well, ensuring Senegal were unable to breach England's goal and keep three clean sheets in a row. He had 65 touches according to WhoScored while making one tackle, one interception and one clearance across the 90 minutes. The win over Senegal was the third game out of four in which the Hammers midfielder played the entire game.

The only match he failed to finish was the 3-0 win over Wales in the final group game.
