Senegal thrash Iraq to close on WC knockout stages - and potential meeting with England

Senegal gave themselves the best chance of finishing as one of the World Cup's top eight third-placed teams as they thumped five past 10-man Iraq.

After both teams lost to France and Norway in their first two Group I matches, only a win - and by a significant margin - would be enough to keep hopes of progression alive. The Lions of Teranga understood the assignment and went on to record the biggest win by an African nation at a World Cup.
