Why Senegal beat us 3-1 – England coach, Tuchel

Published

on

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

Tuchel watched as Senegal came from a goal down to beat the Three Lions at City Ground.

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.

However, Tuchel believes his side lost to the visitors because his team conceded very two easy goals.

According to him, England had big chances to equalize but failed to convert it.

“Yeah of course, it is a disappointing result,” Tuchel told TV Sport.

“We conceded the first two goals – very easy goals, we need to defend better.

“The reaction was good after we were down. We suddenly were more active, more free, more fluent, more aggressive. We had big chances to equalise.”
