HARRY KANE and his England team-mates were drenched in beer by Mexico fans while celebrating a goal during their incredible 3-2 win at the Azteca. Thomas Tuchel‘s men had the perfect start in Mexico City as they went 2-0 up thanks to Jude Bellingham‘s quick-fire brace. Mexico left England sweating after Julian Quinones pulled one back before the break before Jarrell Quansah was sent off just after half time. But there was joyous celebrations from England after Kane restored their two-goal cushion from the spot. They were awarded a spot kick when Anthony Gordon was taken out by keeper Raul Rangel and Kane made no mistake from 12 yards. But as he lapped up the moment with his team-mates, he was showered with beer by a handful of disgruntled Mexico supporters.
