England were kept waiting in the tunnel by Senegal before the two sides went head-to-head in an international friendly in Nottingham on Tuesday evening. The match was supposed to kick off at 7.45pm, but eventually got underway at 7.50pm following a five-minute delay.
The Three Lions hosted a match away from Wembley for the first time in a year as international football headed to the City Ground. And England boss Thomas Tuchel was aiming to make it four wins from four matches following his appointment at the start of the year.
England players came out of the dressing room and hung around the tunnel just before the match was due to get underway.
But they were made to wait for their opponents to join them as the Senegal stars stayed in their dressing room for an extended period of time.
And after the away side appeared, ITV commentator Sam Matterface told viewers: “Welcome to the City Ground in Nottingham where we await the arrival of the Senegalese players who have eventually been coaxed out of the dressing room by French official Stephanie Frappart. Three-and-a-half minutes after they were supposed to emerge.”
Tuchel made 10 changes to the team that whimpered to a 1-0 victory over Andorra in World Cup qualifying on Saturday as only captain Harry Kane kept his place.
And the Bayern Munich striker nudged his side ahead seven minutes into the contest as he bundled the ball in from close range after former Chelsea keeper Edouard Mendy had parried a shot from Anthony Gordon.
But Crystal Palace attacker Ismaila Sarr drew the visitors level five minutes before half time after Kyle Walker had been caught out at the back.
