Four English Football League stars have exited the World Cup after DR Congo and Senegal suffered defeats in the last 32 on Wednesday.
West Ham right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Burnley defender Axel Tuanzebe were both in the starting line-up for DR Congo’s 2-1 loss to England, the African side having led through a seventh-minute goal from Brian Cipenga.
Watford’s Edo Kayembe came on as a DR Congo substitute in the 76th minute before Harry Kane netted a second goal to send the Three Lions through.
Meanwhile, Hammers left-back El-Hadji Malick Diouf featured for Senegal as an extra-time substitute in their game against Belgium but a controversial late penalty from Youri Tielemans knocked the Lions of Teranga out of the competition.
