The Three Lions secured a 3-0 victory over the reigning Africa Cup of Nations champions, thanks to goals from Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson, Tottenham Hotspur superstar Harry Kane - who grabbed his first goal of the tournament - and Arsenal ace Bukayo Saka.

Gareth Southgate's side finished as Group B winners after recording two victories from their three matches - having defeated Iran and Wales, while drawing with USA.

Meanwhile, Manchester City trio Kyle Walker, John Stones and Phil Foden were all named in the starting line-up, with Jack Grealish and midfielder Kalvin Phillips brought on in the second period.
