England produced a monumental defensive effort to beat Mexico in a pulsating, nail-biting, five-goal thriller at the Azteca Stadium on Sunday.Jude Bellingham scored twice inside two minutes, and Harry Kane also scored from the penalty spot as the Three Lions overcame Jarell Quansah’s red card, high altitude, and a fervent home support to keep their quest for a first major tournament win in 60 years alive.England have relied on Bellingham and Kane throughout the tournament and that duo have carried them into a last eight showdown with Erling Haaland’s Norway.Bellingham struck twice in 98 seconds in the first half to condemn Mexico to just a third defeat in 90 matches at the Azteca.Julian Quinones and Raul Jimenez reduced the Mexican arrears, but they fell short of a place in the quarter-finals.England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford punches the ball clear.
