Senegal advanced to the last 16 after defeating Ecuador, with the Netherlands advancing as group winners.
Rashford makes Wales pay
Marcus Rashford and Phil Foden made the most of their starting roles to help England eliminate Wales from the World Cup with a 3-0 win that also secured top spot in Group B and set up a last-16 tie with Senegal.
England manager Gareth Southgate had been grilled about Foden's lack of game time in the tournament since the disappointing goalless draw with the United States, and the Manchester City forward showed what he can bring to this stage at the start of the second half.

In a shootout for qualification, the USA relished the pressure, playing with great energy and attacking intent as Pulisic bundled home the game-winning goal on 38 minutes. In that brave act, the Chelsea player injured his hip and did not return for the second half.
