Ten-man England edge a World Cup classic to beat Mexico 3-2 at Estadio Azteca. Worth staying up for. Jude Bellingham put Thomas Tuchel's team in a wonderful position with two goals in as many minutes before Julian Quinones responded with a fine finish. Jarell Quansah was shown a straight red card early in the second half for a high challenge on Jesus Gallardo, much to the delight of the home support — only for Harry Kane to score his 14th World Cup goal from the penalty spot just a few minutes later. Kane then conceded a penalty after clipping Brian Gutierrez — the resulting spot kick dispatched by Raul Jimenez — but England managed to weather the storm and seal victory in a stadium where Mexico rarely taste defeat. Next up for England — Norway in Miami on Saturday.
