Mexico vs England LIVE REACTION as Three Lions overcome controversy to reach World Cup quarter-final

Mexico vs England LIVE REACTION as Three Lions overcome controversy to reach World Cup quarter-final England have produced a heroic display to win 3-2 in the Estadio Azteca despite having a man sent off and controversial VAR decisions go against them England are into the World Cup quarter-finals after holding on to claim a 3-2 last 16 victory over co-hosts Mexico in the Estadio Azteca. After the one hour delay to kick-off due to the weather, Jude Bellingham stole the show in the first half, with two goals in just over a minute putting the Three Lions in the ascendency against the co-hosts. Julian Quinones reduced the lead before the break however, his strike crashed into the roof of Jordan Pickford's net. Pickford had earlier twice brilliantly denied Raul Jimenez. Into the second half, England looked to take back control, but Jarell Quansah - in the side at right-back tonight - was sent off for a horror tackle. Within minutes however, Kane blasted home to score from the penalty spot after Anthony Gordon had been brought down, and made it 3-1. Moments later, Kane conceded a penalty at the other end - given after VAR intervention - and Raul Jimenez found the back of the net. Down to 10 men, England went all out defence, 5-3-1, and were resolute, dogged, brave - and booked their spot in the last eight, where they will face Norway, after the brilliant and ruthless Erling Haaland scored twice to end Carlo Ancelotti's hopes of leading Brazil to glory this summer. There was a sour note to the celebrations however, with Jordan Henderson picking up a freak injury and having to leave on a stretcher surrounded by medical staff. All the action as it happened is below, where you can keep up with all the best reaction too... Key Events England star Harry Kane and Premier League icon Peter Crouch shared an embrace after England's historic win. Crouch, who featured for the Three Lions during the 2006 World Cup, is working as a pundit for American TV but couldn't resist basking in the joyous moment as England booked their place in the last-eight. There is of course that Spurs element too so I'm sure one half of North London will take pleasure in seeing the footage. A nice moment involving Jude Bellingham was captured from the stands. The Real Madrid and England star swapped shirts with Gilberto Mora, the teenage starlet for Mexico. At 17 years and 240 days, Mora is the youngest player at this World Cup and today became the second-youngest player ever to start a World Cup knockout match since Pele. Mora is attracting interest from top clubs across Europe, including Liverpool. Now then, England's focus now moves ahead to Norway. But not for Thomas Tuchel, he said: "I will not watch anything on Norway in the next 24 hours. I will have one full day without football. We had a very sad history in this stadium, we are now at peace with that today." For those Three Lions supporters who do wish to look ahead, let's have a look at the details for the quarter-final. England vs Norway - World Cup quarter-final Date: July 11 Time: 10pm Venue: Miami Stadium Norway stunned record-holders Brazil as Erling Haaland scored twice to book their place in the last-eight. Neymar scored a late penalty which was a mere consolation. Norway? Yes way. Thomas Tuchel has had his say on the Folarin Balogun decision that has rocked this World Cup and brought immense scrutiny on Gianni Infantino. The German said: "Where does this end now? If there's a yellow card, do we appeal it?" In case you missed it, the England head coach was less than complimentary of the officials at the Azteca as he took umbrage with a South American VAR team. The Aussie referee didn't escape criticism either. Did you watch it live? Are you catching up with the highlights? Or did you snooze your alarm one too many times? Let us know in the comments your thoughts and feelings on England's 3-2 win over Mexico. We would love to see your reaction, a reminder to do so within the guidelines, you can do some by commenting here. If England's social media activity doesn't show you that it is a late night then I don't know what does. Do you we say goodnight or good morning now? The scores on the doors so far are in. Jude Bellingham is leading the charge via our Rate The Players function with an average of 9.5. Jordan Pickford is marginally behind with 8.8 while Anthony Gordon received 8.5 from supporters. Captain Harry Kane comes in with an 8.4 average rating. Don't miss out, you can have your go below. Jordan Pickford and Declan Rice are among the first two England players to take to social media following the Three Lions' win. Pickford made a glut of saves to keep Mexico at bay, including two superb stops from Raul Jimenez. Although the Wolves striker found his way through from 12 yards, much of England's success came as a result of the Everton shot-stopper. Declan Rice walked a tightrope for 111 minutes after receiving a yellow card in 59 seconds. He powered forward for the opening goal, feeding his Arsenal teammate Bukayo Saka who did the rest before teeing up Jude Bellingham for a diving header. Here's how they responded on Instagram. Link not working? Pickford said: "What an atmosphere. What a performance. Incredible spirit. To the quarterfinals!! El bosh" Rice said: "History made at the Azteca. Love this team!!!" Donald Trump is in the headlines after the White House reportedly dialled in to Gianni Infantino to override Folarin Balogun's red card. The USA star is now eligible to play in their Round of 16 clash with Belgium as his red card was suspended for a year. After Harry Kane's heroics, the President has sent a message on Truth Social. He said: "Harry Kane of England is a GREAT player!!!" Hands off, Mr Trump. The pubs are now shut after their 5am last orders extension. What a night they would have had. It had it all, Erling Haaland's brace in Norway's win over Germany, an hour delay for England's kick-off then an incident-packed Three Lions win. What's hero Jude Bellingham said? As per Reuters, he said: "Have another shot and text your bosses to say you're not coming in tomorrow (today). That's about it." During his post-match duties, Thomas Tuchel said: "He injured his wrist, he's gone to hospital it's quite a serious injury. "It doesn't fit with the night. I don't know if there will be a procedure." Waking up? Coming in? Trying to settle down before bed? You're in the right place. In short, England are through to the World Cup quarter-finals after a 3-2 win over Mexico thanks to goals from Jude Bellingham (2) and Harry Kane. The task was made greater at 2-1 when Jarell Quansah was shown a straight red card when a firm challenge was recommended for review. Captain Kane scored a penalty to restore their two-goal advantage before Raul Jimenez converted a spot-kick of his own to make for a nervy ending. Your top stories this morning: You'd need 1,100 Dan Burns to reach the altitude of the Azteca but one is enough to thwart any Mexican barrage. Opta has crunched the stats and he made the joint most clearances in England's 3-2 win. AND he only came on in the 75th minute. It's the most clearances made by a player brought on that late into a World Cup game, on record, since 1966. And do you know what happened that year? Don't say it, don't say it, don't say it. Just look at Thomas Tuchel's reaction as well, says it all. Where to even start. We have just witnessed one of the all-time great England nights. This team has united a nation once more and now who knows what could be possible. However, Jordan Henderson leaving the pitch on a stretcher soured an otherwise unforgettable evening. With Norway next in Miami, you just never quite know what is possible when England are at their best. They were here but also showed they can win ugly like they did against DR Congo. They displayed character like no other. They had to dig so deep to pull it out the bag and they did just that. Superb. Oh to be in Mexico City tonight. Here's the reaction from those in attendance tonight. It wasn't pretty. It was nervy. It was a rollercoaster. You will be lucky to find an England fan with fingernails left after the grandstand finish. Watch the reaction from BOXPARK Wembley. A bitter end to a joyous and historic win for England. They are through to the World Cup quarter-final after overcoming co-hosts Mexico in a slug-fest at the famous Azteca Stadium. Unused substitute Jordan Henderson had to be stretchered off after injuring himself while trying to get over the advertising hoardings. He has injured his wrist and it remains to be seen whether the issue will rule him out for the remainder of the tournament. It happened after the players parted following the rendition of Oasis' Wonderwall. Match-winner Jude Bellingham said: "He's in a bit of bother but our medical team have everything under control. Probably best not to go too much detail when I don't know too much. Everyone there was to support him." Thomas Tuchel added that it is not good for the Three Lions veteran, he said: "Not good, not good. next thing is a right defender with the red card. Jordan fell over and injured his wrist, looks really bad." You can read the full story here. Thomas Tuchel speaking to BBC Sport: "If a team has heart and belief this team does, it was done on pure will. No words. Iconic words, iconic match, we come through adversity, very proud. "I didn't feel it hostile, I found it cheering and emotional, not hostile. You were close to the bench, the anthem was unbelievable. We just refused to give in on a level that is absolutely admirable. "Just not good enough. The referees just aren't good enough, fourth officials just not good enough. it's the bottom line. Did I see that right? Three people on the VAR from South America, a match like this? I could be wrong, if this is correct... VAR overturns a clear and obvious mistake for the penalty, absolutely not. VAR gets involved. He didn't overturn a yellow into a red, he didn't even give the foul he then overturned a decision that he didn't give as a foul. Referees not good enough, fourth officials not good enough. "Brilliant, absolutely brilliant, everyone. People from the bench, amazing again. It's not worth to mention individual names, everyone is exhausted. Everyone won a crazy match of football in a crazy atmosphere. We were up against all odds and even during the match, at the end it was 11 minutes and he gives two corners to make it 12... no, everything went against us, we didn't give in. "I think we can play better and do better. There's still a disconnect from what I see to what we put on the pitch, ball positions, spaces but there's no disconnect in committing and doing what is needed that is thrown into this team. It's a team everyone can be proud of. "Not good, not good. next thing is a right defender with the red card. Jordan fell over and injured his wrist, looks really bad." Harry Kane is now within one goal of moving joint top in the Golden Boot race. But in the next round he will come up against one of his challengers for the accolade in Erling Haaland. The England and Bayern Munich star was on target from the spot during a topsy turvy encounter with Mexico. Here's how the World Cup Golden Boot race stands: England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, who made some crucial saves in the 3-2 win, told BBC Sport: "We shown resilience, character, it wasn't pretty at times. It had everything, everything that puts you on the edge of your seat. It was a special night. "You saw the version and standard I set myself. That's where I aim to be all the time. "I'm one of the most experienced lads in the group, you've got to roll your sleeve up. I've always had that passion on my sleeve. Harty that was decent." And breathe (or launch a load of beer in the air) Anthony Gordon speaking to BBC Sport: "It won't kick in till this evening, to celebrate like that was once in a lifetime. We spoke about this game being once in a lifetime opportunity, atmosphere, it tested us in the worst way possible, and we came through it. It was difficult, travelling wasn't great, altitude was difficult, but we're good players, it's what we're paid to do to perform at this level. We knew it was tough but big games, big performance. "I knew when we got a man sent off I'd have to run more than ever, I was happy to do so. I want to be good at everything, whatever game I can be effective in any way. I ran, blocked crosses, won the pen, tried to do the best for the team. "I hope so, that's for you to say. We focus on the process, we can never control things that happen to us, we can control how we respond." Jude Bellingham speaking to BBC Sport said: "Hard to gather everything together really, 10 men, how we defended, how we were in their box. This team stuck together till the last second, the players who came on, who ran themselves in to the ground, this is what this team is about. "The atmosphere by the far best I've played against in international football, it's a magnificent country for football. Referees are only human, they make mistakes, we made more. "At 2-1 the game was still there, this win is far bigger than me. The players who came on, the fans who paid hard earned money, this is a team and a whole country performance. "It's still one game at a time, it's the quarter-final now, Norway pose a completely different threat. They have some world-class players, we'll have to be ready. My word, if you can't enjoy a win like this for one night then you never will. "He's in a bit of bother but our medical team have everything under control. Probably best not to go too much detail when I don't know too much. Everyone there was to support him." Jordan Henderson was taken away on a stretcher after hurting his arm during England's celebrations. The players appeared to form a huddle around Henderson after singing Wonderwall. It's now emerged Henderson suffered a worrying injury that caused huge concern amongst the party. Jude Belligham was absolutely furious with something that took place behind the goal and he had to be dragged away by Harry Kane. Henderson landed awkwardly after falling as he attempted to climb over the advertising hoardings. Dan Burn rushed to his attention. The incident sours an incredible win. Some quite worrying scenes at the Azteca with Jordan Henderson stretchered off and receiving oxygen. Harry Kane said he should be okay but the former Liverpool captain, according to BBC Sport, fell over the advertising hoardings. The Daily Mail's Craig Hope has reported that he fell and hurt his arm. Our man on the ground, or eye in the sky shall we say, captured the moment one minute in. England captain Harry Kane lost his voice during the Three Lions celebrations. Jordan Henderson was stretchered off after falling over the advertising hoardings. He spoke to BBC Sport: "Jordan Henderson just fell over, I think he's okay. "It was a crazy game, we had to fight. We had to find something, I've been singing, I can't really talk, the occasion, the team, everything against us, we found a way. "I thought I got to the ball first, it was one of those things, the ref gave a lot against us. In the end it didn't matter so I'm happy. "Look at them here, incredible, unbelievable support. Speechless. I can't even talk. " Who was your man of the match? Who was England's weak link? Let us know what you think of tonight's Three Lions heroes with our player rater... Speaking to BBC Sport, Alan Shearer said: "Every single player, even the player he brought on, they fought for their country. Wow, every single one of them was superb. "I thought everything was superb. The way they managed the game, the energy, the way they took the game to Mexico. The start to the second half was positive then they got the red card and the penalty, the way they stuck together. The manager's substitutions to go to five at the back, Jordan Pickford, two or three of his saves, coming out for his defenders, every single one of them was superb. "We've been waiting for them, they've only had, before today, that one good half against Croatia. They've had moments from Bellingham and Kane, tonight was perfect. There was questions asked, they dealt with knockbacks, this was a standout performance. This is a performance that can carry them forward and give them belief in the competition." Wonderwall plays. England have overcome an almighty hurdle. It was a different kind of win to Croatia, Panama and DR Congo. It was gritty, hard-earned and spirited. The England supporters in Mexico City will celebrate long into the night. And after all... 18+ gambleaware.org Full-time ratings by John Cross Jordan Pickford 8 Brilliant first half saves from Raul Jimenez but could do nothing about the Mexico striker’s penalty. Jarell Quansah 5 Sent off after a brutal challenge on Jesus Gallardo. Had been enjoying such a good game. Ezri Konsa 7 Another shaky game in central defence and was then switched to right back to hold fort. Marc Guehi 8 So calm under pressure - and there was one hell of a lot of pressure. Nico O’Reilly 7 Hit the post wth a brilliant low shot. Went off injured after a very mixed bag of a game. Declan Rice 8 Booked after 59 seconds and is clearly nowhere near full fitness - but what a shift. Hero. Eliot Anderson 8 Worked so hard and hard to fathom why he was the one substituted. Felt the wrong choice. Bukayo Saka 7 After his assist in the first half, was the sacrificial lamb after Quansah red card. Jude Bellingham 9 His two goals made him head and shoulders England’s best player - yet again. Anthony Gordon 8 By far and away the best performance by any England winger in all of their games. Harry Kane 8 England’s hero and villain this time. Slammed home a penalty, provided an assist but conceded clumsy penalty to let Mexico back in the contest. A huge win for England. Mexico crestfallen, England exhausted but jubilant. Jude Bellingham's two-minute salvo sent England on course but Mexico, like all of their boxers, never know when to quit. It's 4am here in England, what the reaction will be in the pubs is anyone guess. Elation? Relief? Either way, England are quarter-final bound. England are through, they will face Norway in the quarter-finals. Jude Bellingham the hero for England with his double and defensive contributions. The Three Lions had to defend for over half-an-hour with a man disadvantage after Jarell Quansah's red card. Harry Kane restored England's two-goal advantage after Julian Quinones reduced the deficit. Raul Jimenez's controversial penalty sparked a nervy ending but England hold on.
