England Advance to World Cup Quarter-Finals After Thrilling Victory Over Mexico

England are through to the quarter-finals of the World Cup after battling to beat Mexico.

The Three Lions played most of the second half in Mexico City with 10 men against the co-hosts but managed to hold on for a superb 3-2 win.

It means England are one step closer to reaching their third major tournament final of the decade.

England face Norway in the last eight in Miami after their impressive 2-1 victory over Brazil in the last 16.

Norway finished second behind France in Group I and reaching the quarter-finals represents their best World Cup campaign.

With Manchester City's Erling Haaland up front, they will pose a significant threat.

He is level with France's Kylian Mbappe and Argentina's Lionel Messi in the Golden Boot standings with seven goals - and that is after being rested entirely in Norway's final group game with qualification secured.

The 25-year-old now has 62 goals in 54 international games.

If England make it past Norway, they could face the defending champions.

Perhaps the favourites to reach this stage would be Argentina, who won all three of their group games as Lionel Messi continued to deliver on the biggest stage of all in the month he turned 39, scoring eight goals so far.

They survived a huge scare in being taken to extra time by surprise package Cape Verde in the last 32 and produced a stunning comeback to beat Egypt to reach the quarter-finals.

They face Switzerland in the last 16, who made it to the quarter-finals for the first time since 1954 by beating Colombia on penalties.

Reaching the semi-final would mean a return for England to Atlanta, where they beat DR Congo in their last-32 match.
