England booked their place in the World Cup quarter-finals with an enthralling 3-2 win over hosts Mexico.
A quick-fire double from Jude Bellingham saw the Three Lions take a huge step into the quarter-finals before a Julian Quinones goal closed the deficit before half-time.
A red card for Jarell Quansah jeopardised England's advantage before Harry Kane scored from the spot to make it 3-1.
Mexico then scored a penalty of their own with England having to defend for their lives to secure a place in the quarter-finals.
In what was never meant to be the most testing of World Cup knockout ties, the Three Lions went behind in the opening minutes before a Harry Kane doubled booked a date with Mexico at the Azteca.

England Player Ratings
Jordan Pickford - 8
Two massive saves in the first half and dealt well with the aerial threat throughout. A welcome return to form.
Jarell Quansah - 5
A steady first-half performance undone by a reckless red card that could've sent England home.
Ezri Konsa - 6
Better when shifted to right-back, but failed to deal with the free-kick that led to Mexico's first.
Marc Guehi - 7
Hugely impressive when down to 10 men, excellent as ever in possession.
Nico O'Reilly - 7
Another impressive performance from the Manchester City man. Does he know he's 21?
Elliot Anderson - 6
Still not offering enough in possession.
Declan Rice - 7
Excellent carry up the field for England's first and played through the pain barrier to see out the 100+ minutes.
Bukayo Saka - 7
Had a quiet first half but made a telling contribution with a pinpoint cross to Jude Bellingham for his first.
Jude Bellingham - 9
Heroic. Herculean. Two goals, brilliant work in and out of possession. Left literally everything on the pitch.
Anthony Gordon - 8
Fantastic running in the first half, won the penalty that won the game and contributed defensively at the death.
Harry Kane - 8
Unlucky to give the penalty away, but scored from the spot when his country needed him, and teed up Bellingham for his second.
John Stones - 7
Exactly what England needed when down to 10 men. The assured older head kept those around him calm.
Djed Spence - 7
Much improved when up against it with a couple of crucial blocks.
Dan Burn - 7
Did exactly what he was brought on for with some big headed clearances.
Morgan Rogers - N/A
Chucked on at the last knockings to give Kane a rest.
