This defeat marks a significant milestone for Senegal, as it marks the first time an African nation has beaten England's senior team.

England's coach, Thomas Tuchel, expressed his disappointment with the result, acknowledging that his team did not deserve a better outcome. He noted that his team seemed "frozen" for much of the match, struggling to create scoring opportunities and defend effectively. However, he praised his team's reaction to going down 2-1, describing it as "more active, more free, more fluent, and more aggressive."

When discussing a disallowed goal, Tuchel expressed his confusion, stating that the referee's decision to review the goal was unprecedented. He suggested that either the referee made a mistake by disallowing the goal or that it was correctly disallowed, leaving the outcome uncertain.

Regarding the late introduction of Ivan Toney, Tuchel explained that the move was intended to capitalize on the opportunities created by his team's attacking players, including Morgan Gibbs-White, Eberechi Eze, Morgan Rogers, and Jude Bellingham. He believed that Toney's strengths in situations with multiple balls in the box made him a valuable asset to bring on in such circumstances.
