England have secured their place in the quarter-finals of the World Cup after beating Mexico 3-2 following a tense match that left fans of both nations on the edge of their seats.
The game opened with some wobbles from England, but then, out of nowhere, Jude Bellingham scored two goals less than 100 seconds apart just over half an hour into the game.
Minutes later, just as England fans began to think a win was assured, Julian Quinones got one past Jordan Pickford, bringing the score to 2-1 as the first half ended.
The second half got off to a tough start for England after Jarrel Quansah was handed a red card 10 minutes in.
But minutes later, Kane scored a penalty kick after Anthony Gordon was wiped out by Mexico goalkeeper Raul Rangel, putting England 3-1 up.
Then, in quick succession, Kane was penalised for tackling Brian Gutierrez while contesting the ball in the box, leading to a penalty for Mexico, which Raul Jimenez scored, bringing the total to 3-2.
England fought out the last part of the game on the defensive, with Mexico constantly frustrated despite numerous attempts on goal.
The Three Lions will now take on Norway in the quarter-finals on Saturday after Erling Haaland’s two goals helped his team pull off a stunning upset against Brazil on Sunday.
