🏴 England 1–3 Senegal: Tuchel Under Fire as Lions Crumble in Historic Defeat
⚡ A Shocking Night at the City Ground
In a match that will be remembered for all the wrong reasons, England fell 3–1 to Senegal on Tuesday night — marking the first time in history that the Three Lions have lost to an African nation.
Despite taking the lead early through Harry Kane, England looked disjointed and passive as Senegal fought back with goals from Ismaïla Sarr, Habib Diarra, and Cheikh Sabaly to complete a historic win at the City Ground in Nottingham.
📉 Tuchel’s England: Falling Apart or Work in Progress?
This match marked the latest blow in Thomas Tuchel’s turbulent start as England manager. While the German tactician insists there is “no need to panic,” fan frustration has reached boiling point.
Tuchel admitted post-match:
“We were frozen. It's not about quality — it's about courage. And tonight, we didn’t show enough of it.”

But many fans and pundits aren’t convinced.
🗣️ Fan Reactions: “This Is Worse Than Iceland 2016”
Social media was flooded with outrage following the final whistle:
“Tuchel OUT. This team is soulless.”
“We’re one year from the World Cup and this is what we get?”
“Senegal outclassed us in every department. Embarrassing.”
Even football legend Roy Keane slammed the squad, citing a lack of spirit, energy, and tactical identity.
📊 Stats That Say It All

|---|---|---|
| Possession | 52% | 48% |
| Shots on Target | 3 | 7 |

Despite edging possession, England lacked cutting edge and struggled to control midfield transitions — areas Tuchel was expected to fix.
