England 1-3 Senegal: Thomas Tuchel suffers his first defeat as Three Lions are booed off following dire display
Senegal handed Thomas Tuchel his first defeat as Three Lions boss by coming from behind to beat England 3-1 at the City Ground.
After a dour display against Andorra on Saturday, England made a fast start and took the lead after just seven minutes when Harry Kane tapped home from close range.
But Senegal worked their way back into the contest and deservedly equalised just before half time as Ismaila Sarr caught Kyle Walker napping and fired past Dean Henderson.
It was Henderson - given a rare start ahead of Jordan Pickford - who was the busier of the two goalkeepers, and he was unable to stop Habib Diarra beating him from a tight angle to put Senegal in front in the 62nd minute.
Jude Bellingham thought he had rescued a late equaliser for England, but the goal was ruled out by VAR for a Levi Colwill handball, and Senegal then netted a third on the counter in added time to wrap up a famous victory.

Belgian club Leuven dismiss former Wales manager Coleman
June 12 (Reuters) - Former Wales manager Chris Coleman has been fired by OH Leuven six months after joining them, the Belgian club said. The former Wales defender was appointed in December by Leuven, whose owners also control Leicester City, and he led them to an 11th-place finish, enough to qualify for playoffs for a potential spot in European club competition next season. "In those playoffs, the performances remained below expectations. That is why the club is now opting for change with a view to next season and is ending the collaboration with Coleman," Leuven said in a statement. Coleman, 55, took Wales to the European Championship semi-finals in 2016. He also managed English clubs Fulham, Sunderland and Coventry City, and Spain's Real Sociedad.

Reid 30 years on: 'I had to find £700 from somewhere'
Former Sunderland manager Peter Reid - who twice won the Black Cats promotion into the Premier League - has been looking back on taking charge of the club 30 years ex-Everton and Manchester City player took the reigns in March 1995 with Sunderland battling relegation in the second tier, but with seven games of the season remaining, Reid oversaw just the one loss and managed to keep them to BBC Radio Newcastle in a special episode, Reid recalled: "They were great games, the Sheffield United one was a very important one and I always thank Craig [Russell] for coming on as a sub and getting the winner," Reid said."To be fair, the crowd played their part and obviously the players, the players were magnificent. I think we went to Derby and beat them as well which was a fantastic result."After the Sheffield United game, I remember going to the chairman and saying 'listen I need to get something for the players so give me £500 to take them out' and the bill came to about £1200 so I had to find £700 from somewhere."So I was fining the lads for mis-passing the ball in training and everything and once I got the £700 I told them 'it's over now lads' and I told them the story and they took it all in the spirit that it was meant."
