England beat Wales 3-0 in their final Group B fixture at the World Cup to set up a last-16 meeting with Senegal.

A quickfire double from Marcus Rashford and Phil Foden early in the second half broke Welsh resistance, with Rashford adding another to seal top spot and set up their next test on Sunday (7pm).

Gareth Southgate made four changes to his side following their 0-0 draw with the USA and, after plenty of patient passing in the opening stages, England got their first sight of goal when Harry Kane played in Rashford, but Danny Ward was quickly off his line to block.

Harry Maguire then saw a far-post header from a free-kick deflected behind by Ethan Ampadu, although the slight touch was missed by the officials, as Wales remained on the back foot.

And Foden fired just beyond the far post after a quick England counter-attack later in the half, before Rashford’s acrobatic effort from a deflected cross was also wide of the mark.

Joe Allen sent the first notable Welsh attempt at Jordan Pickford’s goal over the angle of crossbar and post just before the half-time whistle, but talisman Gareth Bale was replaced during the break by Brennan Johnson.

And the second half was barely four minutes old when Rashford made the breakthrough with a stunning free-kick into the top corner, after a foul on Foden.

Foden doubled the lead around 90 seconds later, slotting home Kane’s cross at the far post after Rashford had forced a turnover, with Pickford pushing out a deflected Kieffer Moore effort as shellshocked Wales looked for a quick reply.

Southgate made three further changes before the hour mark and Rashford cut in from the right to fire home his second with 20 minutes still to play, before making way for Jack Grealish.

Ward denied Jude Bellingham a fourth with a good reaction save and John Stones lifted a close-range effort over from a corner in stoppage time, but England had already done more than enough to ensure their comfortable progress into the knockout stages.
