Jude Bellingham\u2019s double inflicted a rare defeat on Mexico at the Estadio Azteca as 10-man England won a nerve-racking World Cup classic 3-2<\/a> to reach the quarter-finals. <\/p>\n Harry Kane also scored from the penalty spot as the Three Lions overcame Jarell Quansah\u2019s red card, high altitude and a fervent home support to keep their quest for a first major tournament win in 60 years alive. <\/p>\n Get all the latest football news, highlights and analysis delivered straight to your inbox with Fox Sports Sportmail.

Everything that could have gone against them, everything that was thrown at them, the energy, the altitude, they have got past all of that and they deserved it. That is an incredible performance from start to finish.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen they were under the cosh the manager made the right substitutions. The subs came on and they did their job. What an incredible night.\u201d<\/p>\n Former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson added on BBC Radio 5 Live: \u201cI don\u2019t think I have been this tense watching England, since I played.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat a colossus performance that was from an England side.<\/p>\n \u201cThey changed formation, and they dug in. There are a lot of heroes out on that pitch tonight.<\/p>\n \u201cThey dug in and somehow they have held on.\u201d<\/p>\n The match was delayed by an hour after a thunder storm and heavy rain lashed the Mexican capital for hours before the planned 6pm kick-off time. <\/p>\n Despite the sodden conditions, over 80,000 fans crammed into the stadium to create a deafening noise.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is an absolute belter of a game. I wish I was in that stadium,\u201d former England goalkeeper Joe Hart continued on BBC One.<\/p>\n \u201cThe energy is through the roof.\u201d<\/p>\n In the first half, Saka\u2019s cross picked out Bellingham to power in a header for the first goal Mexico had conceded in five World Cup games. <\/p>\n The hosts failed to compose themselves as within two minutes the Real Madrid midfielder had doubled England\u2019s lead. <\/p>\n Kane\u2019s ball across fell perfectly for Bellingham to power in his fourth goal of the tournament, giving England a 2-0 lead.<\/p>\n
