With this win, England handed Mexico its first World Cup loss at Estadio Azteca, a wild 3-2 victory on Sunday night to reach the quarterfinals

Jude Bellingham scored two goals 98 seconds apart, and Harry Kane converted a penalty to give the visitors a famous victory

Julian Quinones scored for El Tri in the 42nd minute, and the game appeared to turn in Mexico's favour when England's Jarell Quansah was sent off in the 54th minute for a dangerous foul on Jesus Gallardo.

However, England was awarded a penalty for a challenge by Mexico goalkeeper Raul Rangel, and Kane converted for his sixth goal of this tournament and 14th of his World Cup career to seal England's win

England moves on to face Norway on Saturday in Miami Gardens, Florida, for a spot in the semifinals.
