AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

England beat Mexico 3-2 in a thriller at the Azteca to reach the World Cup quarter-finals. The match featured significant drama, including a VAR review and a red card for an England player.

Font size

Jordan Pickford: A great save low down from a diving header from Raul Jimenez early on. An important moment as England would have been behind early in the atmospheric Azteca. Was called upon just before half-time to produce an acrobatic save to deny Jimenez again when Mexico were pushing for a leveller at 2-1. 7

Jarell Quansah: An unfortunate end for Quansah, who was sent off after a video assistant review (VAR) for a high challenge. The right-back had been putting in a good performance before his night was ended early. 5

Ezri Konsa: A testing evening for Konsa and the whole England backline with all the drama in the game. It was Konsa's attempted clearance from a free-kick which fell to Julian Quinones for him to score as he gave Mexico a route back into the match - but the Aston Villa defender provided crucial clearances as England ground out a win. 7

Marc Guehi: Took the ball in tight areas and under pressure as England looked to kill Mexico's momentum in the first half. Guehi stood up to the test as Mexico threw everything at England. 7

Nico O'Reilly: This was the left-back's best performance of the World Cup. Flashed a dangerous cross across the box and slammed a volley against the post. Taken off after picking up a yellow and as England went to a back five. 7

Declan Rice: Rice's powerful running is a major weapon for England and it was his burst from his own half to the edge of the Mexico box that led to England taking the lead. He showed an incredible amount of discipline having picked up a yellow card after one minute. 7

Elliot Anderson: A quieter game from Anderson but did not take away from the importance of what he does for England. The midfielder was taken off as Thomas Tuchel changed England's shape looking to protect the lead. 6

Bukayo Saka: When England were defending deep in the first half Saka was filling in as a right wing-back to block the space around Quinones. A lot of ground to cover but still his usual threat going forward. His ability to take his man on before providing a quality cross was the reason England took the lead. 7

Jude Bellingham: Another match-winning performance for England. The Real Madrid midfielder continues to deliver moments which make it seem like anything is possible for the Three Lions. His two goals in two first-half minutes put his team in a powerful position as he produced another iconic performance. 9

Anthony Gordon: Provided an outlet behind the Mexico defence and was direct at every opportunity. The winger's energy and pace gave England a threat and his relentless work ethic won them a vital penalty. 8

Harry Kane: An extremely important performance from Kane, even if it was dramatic. The England captain drilled in a penalty at a moment of immense pressure when they were down to 10 players. He provided the assist for Bellingham's second - but did also give away a penalty. 8
