Thomas Tuchel hailed 'heroic' England after the 10-man Three Lions delivered one of their finest World Cup performances on foreign soil with a breathless 3-2 win over Mexico to finally silence a frenzied Azteca Stadium.Two goals from brilliant Jude Bellingham and an ice-cold penalty from Harry Kane were just enough to withstand a furious fightback from the co-hosts on a night for the ages in Mexico City.Somehow, despite 11 minutes of injury time, the second-half dismissal of Jarell Quansah and a kick-off delayed for an hour, brave England managed to weather a ferocious Mexican storm at high altitude to book a quarter-final match-up with Erling Haaland's Norway in Miami.'It feels almost like we won a final,' an exhausted but happy Tuchel said. 'This last moment where the referee takes the whistle to his mouth - when you know that you overcame 50 minutes with 10 men in the altitude against the home country, against a strong, strong Mexican team - this is a moment of joy. It's a heroic performance and a heroic result. I'm so happy for the players. We found a way to win and we did it with pure mentality and heart, overcoming every obstacle thrown at us.'A visibly proud Tuchel believes his side delivered a 'beautiful' moment for the nation with a performance of sheer will and guts in which they left nothing on the sodden Azteca turf. Thomas Tuchel celebrates England's brilliant 3-2 victory over Mexico at the World Cup Tuchel has suggested Harry Kane should call Donald Trump to cancel Jarell Quansah's ban'It's almost impossible to overcome, but we did it,' he explained. 'They're exhausted on the next level, which is beautiful to see, because I think this gives a connection with the fans. They see at the whistle that they're almost too exhausted to celebrate, and this is just beautiful. Players that just give everything for the win and for the country and for that shirt. And just, just everyone keep that in mind, this is a special moment.'Kane won praise from Donald Trump during the game and Tuchel was asked if his striker might want to have a word with the US president after he intervened to have Folarin Balogun's red card one-match ban suspended, and ask for similar action with regards to Quansah's ban.'That's not a bad place to start,' the German joked.Bellingham stooped to power a header home on 36 minutes and was at it again 98 seconds later, slotting home a Kane pass.The hosts hit back when Julian Quinones hammered into the roof of the net before the break. In an equally frenetic second-half the unfortunate Quansah was given a straight red for a challenge on Jesus Gallardo on 54 minutes. Despite the dismissal Kane slammed home a penalty on the hour mark but the Bayern Munich man gave one away when he clipped the foot of Brian Gutierrez and Raul Jimenez made no mistake on an electric night with 21 minutes still to play. England quelled green wave after green wave and a staggering 11 minutes to finally prevail.While he was delighted, Tuchel did launch a fierce broadside at the standard of officiating after two major decisions went against England following VAR reviews.'Not good enough,' he told the BBC. 'Referees are just not good enough. Fourth officials are just not good enough. That is the bottom line. VAR today, I think I saw three people from South America are on there. If this is what I saw and it is correct. Is it a clear and obvious error for the mistake for the penalty? For sure not. He did not even give the foul, did not overturn a yellow. The referees are not good enough. Fourth officials not good enough.'Meanwhile a breathless Kane, substituted on 90 minutes, could barely speak at full-time.'It was a crazy game,' he said. 'We had to fight and we had to find something. I've just been singing, I can't really talk. The occasion, the team, everything against us, we found a way.'Amid the celebrations there was one casualty when Jordan Henderson came a cropper after vaulting an advertising board and was carried off on a stretcher. Tuchel and Harry Kane revel in England's victory at the Azteca Stadium'I am also sad because Jordan is injured,' said Tuchel. 'It's quite a serious injury with his wrist. The doctor told us he is in hospital.'Tuchel was also asked if, following Norway, he would like to take on Argentina in the semi-final.'I will not talk about the semi-final, my friend,' he said. 'Now, we have the chance for some days off and I tell you something: I will not re-watch our match, and I will not watch anything about Norway in the next 24 hours. I will do one full day without football. And then we will think about Norway. We'll take it step-by-step.'The England head coach also had some kind words for the defeated co-hosts.'I almost should say sorry that you're out, because I saw the passion and emotion of all the people on the side of the streets today and yesterday, and from the bus,' he said. 'But I'm incredibly proud of my team and our achievements.' A bleary-eyed, excited nation will agree.
