England head coach, Thomas Tuchel has suggested why his team lost 3-1 against Senegal in an international friendly on Tuesday night.

Harry Kane gave the hosts the lead in the seven minutes of the encounter.

But three goals from Ismaila Sarr, Habib Diarra, and Cheikh Sabaly gave the West African giants the victory against England.
