'Mendy is finished, he let Senegal down' - Reactions after England smash Lions of Teranga

Supporters across the world have blamed goalkeeper Edouard Mendy for Senegal's exit from the 2022 Fifa World Cup in Qatar.

The Lions of Teranga's journey in the global competition came to a halt on Sunday after goals from Jordan Henderson, Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka propelled England to a 3-0 victory in the Round of 16 fixture at Al Bayt Stadium.

The overall performance of the 30-year-old Mendy, who turns out for Premier League outfit Chelsea, has elicited debate on social media with a section of fans opining he should have done better to stop Kane and Saka's goals.

Others have questioned Mendy's failure to keep a clean sheet in the competition. In the group stage, Mendy conceded in the 2-0 defeat against the Netherlands, Senegal's 3-1 victory against hosts Qatar and the 2-1 win against Ecuador.
