World Cup commentator Lee Dixon calls out ITV director live on air as England beat Senegal | Football | Sport

World Cup commentator Lee Dixon called out the ITV director live on air on Sunday night as he provided his expert opinion during England’s showdown with Senegal. The Three Lions were in imperious form against the Africa Cup of Nations champions as they ran out 3-0 winners to book their place in the quarter-finals of the Qatar tournament.

Ahead of the World Cup, England were among the favourites to lift the trophy after reaching the semi-finals in Russia four years ago and securing their place at the Qatar tournament without losing any of their qualifying matches. And Gareth Southgate’s side set-up an encounter with Senegal after winning Group B courtesy of two wins and a draw.

England were frustrated for larger parts of the first half during their last 16 match but finally broke the deadlock with seven minutes of the opening period remaining as Jordan Henderson swept home Jude Bellingham’s low cross. And the Three Lions doubled their advantage on the stroke of half time as Harry Kane thumped the ball past Edouard Mendy after being teed-up by Phil Foden.

England continued to dominate after the interval and wrapped the game up just before the hour mark as Bukayo Saka stole in to convert Foden’s cross. But Dixon took aim at the ITV director during the match.
