Overview
- Henderson came on as an 84th-minute substitute on Saturday and in doing so became the first England man to appear at four separate FIFA World Cup tournaments.
- His late cameo also made him the first England player to feature in seven major international tournaments when Euros are included.
- England beat Panama 2-0 to finish top of Group L, with Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane scoring, and the team now advances to a Round of 32 tie with DR Congo.
- Harry Kane’s goal in the Panama match took his World Cup total to 11, moving him ahead of Gary Lineker as England's all-time leading scorer at the tournament.
- Henderson’s milestone caps a long international career that included spells out of the squad, a high-profile club move and a return under Tuchel, and it highlights how the expanded 48-team World Cup raises the value of veteran depth for short knockout windows.
