England have qualified for the World Cup knockout stages after beating Wales 3-0 in Qatar.

Unfortunately for Wales, the loss at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium means they will be heading home from the competition.

The Three Lions now stand at the top of Group B, followed by the USA, who are also set to qualify for the last 16.

Despite a goalless first half, Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford managed to score in the 50th minute, followed by Manchester City’s Phil Foden just 60 seconds later.

Rashford also secured the team’s third goal of the match – tying him with France’s Kylian Mbappe and the Netherlands’ Cody Gakpo in the race for the competition’s Golden Boot.

Wales did come close to a goal in the 56th minute, when Kieffer Moore took a shot, but it was saved by goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.

England will now go on to play Senegal on Sunday 4 December.
