Harry Kane has admitted Jordan Henderson is "one of the best leaders" he's ever played with as the two helped push England into the last eight of the World Cup.
The Three Lions overcame African champions Senegal with a 3-0 win on Monday night after Henderson opened the scoring before Kane and Bukayo Saka secured the victory.
Liverpool captain Henderson came into the team for the group game against Wales and looks as though he will be keeping his place after being lauded for his leadership skills on the pitch.

Kane is the man chosen to captain England by boss Gareth Southgate, but that doesn't stop Henderson from barking out his own orders to help guide his team-mates.
"Hendo, I've always said, is one of the best leaders I've played with," Kane said on the Lions' Den on YouTube. "He's really vocal, he pushes players to their absolute max and that's why he's been great.
"In the games he has played outstanding with and without the ball pushing everyone. I feel like the way we've been pressing, it's good to hear him behind me.
"You need different types of leaders in your team and we have that with four or five different personalities. Hendo is someone, it doesn't matter who you are or what you've done, he'll keep pushing you.
"As you saw yesterday, it was an amazing performance, great to see him score and a lot of the other good stuff was down to his role in the team."
