England booked their place in the FIFA World Cup quarter-finals with a thrilling 3-2 victory over hosts Mexico in a match that was delayed by an hour due to thunderstorms and heavy rain.


At the Azteca Stadium, Jude Bellingham starred with a first-half brace, while Harry Kane sealed the victory from the penalty spot. Bellingham struck in the 36th and 38th minutes to give England a commanding lead before Julián Quiñones pulled one back for Mexico just before halftime.


England were reduced to ten men in the second half after Jarell Quansah was shown a red card. Despite the setback, Kane converted a penalty to restore his team's two-goal advantage. Raúl Jiménez later scored from the penalty spot to narrow the deficit, but Mexico could not find an equalizer as England held on for a dramatic victory.


The win sends Thomas Tuchel's side into the quarter-finals, where they will face Norway, who produced a major upset by eliminating Brazil in the previous round.
