England captain, Harry Kane, has suggested that his team lost 3-1 against Senegal in an international friendly on Tuesday because Thomas Tuchel’s side were not good enough against the visitors.
According to the Bayern Munich striker, with and without the ball things were not clicking for the Three Lions during the encounter at City Ground.
Kane gave England the lead in the seven minutes, but three goals from Ismaila Sarr, Habib Diarra, and Cheikh Sabaly gave the West African giants the victory.
The outcome of the encounter was England’s first-ever defeat against an African opponent.
“Not good enough. We had moments, but with and without the ball things aren’t clicking, we’re not finding the right tempo,” Kane said at his post-match interview.
“We have lost that aggressive nature that we had.”
Kane also said England must improve as soon as possible if they are to contend for the 2026 FIFA World Cup after their latest defeat.
