England edged out Mexico 3-2 in an epic World Cup match.

What happened?

The team's win was down to 'pure will', according to manager Thomas Tuchel. England took an early lead with two goals from Jude Bellingham. Mexico pulled one back, but Harry Kane's penalty sealed the deal.

Key performances

Bellingham's colossal effort in defence and two goals earned him praise from fans and pundits alike. Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford made two key saves to deny Mexico. Pickford led by example when England were reduced to 10 men, said ex-England goalkeeper Joe Hart.
