England are celebrating one of their most memorable World Cup victories of all time. The Three Lions defied a weather delay, high altitude, Jarell Quansah’s early second-half red card and a febrile atmosphere to outlast co-hosts Mexico 3-2 in a pulsating showdown at their Estadio Azteca fortress. Thomas Tuchel’s side produced a heroic defensive effort late on against a team who had won all of their games so far at this tournament without conceding a single goal, setting up a huge quarter-final tie next weekend in Miami against Erling Haaland and Norway, who stunned Brazil on Sunday thanks to their talisman.
England went 2-0 up against Mexico after Jude Bellingham scored twice in 98 seconds with half-time looming, though El Tri pulled one back before the break as Julian Quinones thumped home. The stage was set for a truly remarkable second period, in which Quansah was sent off after a VAR review on a high challenge on Jesus Gallardo to leave England up against it. However, they restored their two-goal advantage from the penalty spot through Harry Kane after Anthony Gordon proved too quick for goalkeeper Raul Rangel. Kane’s foul on Brian Gutierrez at the other end then led to Raul Jimenez dispatching from 12 yards, creating the nerviest of finishes.
But the likes of Jordan Pickford and substitute Dan Burn were inspired as England put their bodies on the line and held out for one of their most famous major tournament victories on foreign soil. Follow England vs Mexico reaction live below, including expert insight and analysis from Standard Sport’s England correspondent Dom Smith at the Estadio Azteca.

Why was Quansah sent off?
09:07 , Oli Gent
Jarell Quansah has become the fourth England player to be sent off at a World Cup.
Following in the unfortunate footsteps of Ray Wilkins, David Beckham and Wayne Rooney was the Bayer Leverkusen defender.
Despite an otherwise assured performance in the troublesome right-back position for England, Quansah was given his marching orders shortly after half-time.
The defender flew in on Jesus Gallardo and at first glance appeared to win the ball fairly, if not firmly.
The Mexico bench did not agree and immediately voiced their protests, prompting both benches to scuffle on the touchline.
VAR looked at the incident and soon told referee Alireza Faghani to review the tackle. A quick look later and out came the red card.

The odds seemed to be stacked against the Three Lions as they headed to Mexico City, where much was made of the thin atmosphere and hostile reception which awaited them at the Estadio Azteca, site of Diego Maradona’s infamous Hand of God.
A tense, hard-fought match produced a win which will go down in history, and the celebrations were suitably emotional.
'One of our greatest results'
08:38 , Oli Gent
Wayne Rooney has hailed England's win over Mexico as "one of their greatest results" as the Three Lions marched into the World Cup quarter-finals.
Jude Bellingham scored twice before Harry Kane added a third from the penalty spot in the 3-2 win, which also saw Jarell Quansah sent off in a feisty Azteca atmosphere.
England were making their first return to the stadium since the 1986 World Cup, and exacted revenge in Mexico City despite what manager Thomas Tuchel described as "everything against us".

Speaking after the game, Rooney said: "That was one of the greatest results, performances. They showed attitude, grit, desire, everything you would have wanted an England team to show they showed tonight...”
