In the closing stages, Southgate could rest the players. Jack Grealish, Rashford, Mason Mount, Kalvin Phillips and Eric Dier saw some action. There was some work to do to preserve the clean sheet but, as a game, that was over before Senegal could do anything. It has become business as usual for England in tournaments. It never was.
