If England are to go further into this tournament, captain Harry Kane will more than likely have a big hand in that.

He moved to six goals for this tournament - his 14th World Cup goal and also a sixth in the knockout stages.

This is only the third time an England player has scored six goals in a major tournament – the others are Gary Lineker in the 1986 World Cup and Kane himself at the 2018 World Cup.

Kane’s six World Cup penalty goals are two more than anyone else in history (excl. shoot-outs).

England have reached a third consecutive World Cup quarter-final and an 11th overall - only Brazil (15) and Germany (14) have reached more in the tournament’s history.

Previous manager Gareth Southgate led England to the quarter-finals at Qatar four years ago, when they lost 2-1 to France, and the semi-finals in Russia in 2018.

He also led them to consecutive finals at the European Championships.

The question is, can Thomas Tuchel take up the mantel and help his England side reach even greater heights?

It has to be said that the Mexico fans were not cheering when Harry Kane put 10-man England 3-1 up from the spot in the second half.

Thanks to Liverpool-born Andy Dugard for sharing this video with us.

The restaurant manager, who now lives in Florida, had the perfect view as the Three Lions captain slotted home his penalty.

Andy described his first ever World Cup match as "probably the greatest sporting event I’ll ever be at".

The England players, manager and supporters have had plenty of nice things to say about the Mexican fans, who have shown their passion for football but treated their opponents with respect.

England fans were even serenaded by gracious Mexicans leaving the Azteca Stadium.

A very wise strategy Ian.

A lot changed at the Azteca overnight.

For one, England put three goals past a Mexican side that hadn't conceded a single goal at the 2026 World Cup.

In fact, Mexico last conceded three goals in a match at the Estadio Azteca in August 1999 (4-3 win vs Brazil).

They conceded more goals today (3) than in all their previous 10 World Cup matches at the Azteca combined (2).

You left 40 years ago? A drastic reaction to the 'hand of God' incident?

You needn't click on the video to guess this England fan's answer to the question...of course it was worth it!

Maybe overnight matches are the answer?

The Premier League that England's players return to will look quite different, but that can wait.

We are all about England today...and beyond.

Remember, Norway await in the quarter-finals on Saturday in Miami. Kick off is at a much more reasonable hour of 22:00 BST.

Nottingham Forest have confirmed former Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner as their new head coach.

Glasner said: "I’m delighted to join Nottingham Forest as head coach. From my very first conversations with the owner and the leadership team, it was evident to me that they have a clear vision for this football club and complete trust and belief in me and my staff to build a strong future together over the long term."

Briefly away from England for a moment, just some news to bring you regarding Nottingham Forest...

Former England defender

You have to adapt, and you have to be able to play a different style of football. That is what Thomas Tuchel brings to this group of players. There is an understanding of when to go after a game.

I think they have managed it well throughout this tournament. His tactical changes in every single game have worked and that's a huge thing to have within a changing room.

Another huge plus for Tuchel tonight.

England

England captain Harry Kane, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live: "What a crazy, crazy game.

"So many things against us as a team coming here, coming to this fortress and having to get through. In the game, the red card, the penalty and so many decisions against us the whole game, but we stuck at it.

"Everyone who fought for every inch of the ball, every inch of the grass.

"This will only give us more belief and more momentum. What a special night for England.

"We scored three goals away from home against a team that have not conceded in the tournament. We played 40-50 minutes with 10 men, so whatever you say about us as a team. The one thing we do have is complete desire, determination and pride in the shirt.

"One of my favourite nights in my career."

Declan Rice says the Mexico win was the best England result he has experienced as a national team player.

Kev in Wakefield, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live World Cup 606:

"There's a lot more togetherness now and I think Tuchel has done a really good job uniting the team.

"If you go back to '66, most people can only name six or seven of the players. Because it's a team.

"We've got that mentality. We know it's a team game. We've got to have a couple of superstars, yeah. We understand that. But we are a team now.

"And that's the big thing. Instead of having 11 egos, we've got a team and they all want to play for each other.

"It's fantastic. I really think we're going to do it."

Tuchel’s decision making, Pickford punching balls. Might have been a Round of 16 - but what a game - everything about it, superb.

I thought stick for Pickford was wrong at the start of this tournament– people just trying to cause drama. Big saves from the start for him.

Most impressive thing about him – apart from kicking the ball the way he did because of the high altitude, but the way he dealt with those aerial balls towards the end.

His decision making, his execution of those decisions. It was all Mexico were going to do… and he just kept on saying ‘come on, keep them coming’ - and I’ll deal with them.

Harry losing his voice post-match, underlines how much effort he put into the game.

After the sending of Quansah – which the referee got right - it looked like the whole team was defending so well – it was so organised. I think Tuchel had a plan for losing a player.

Tuchel’s conversation throughout this tournament was “we’re going to get better”. Every test that we’ve had, we’ve got better.

Jay in Leeds speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live World Cup 606:

"It feels like a dream.

"I can't put into words how emotional I felt last night. Watching those players and seeing them conjure up the courage to go to the Lion's den in the Azteca and to do what the did... I genuinely can't believe it.

"It's a win that we would never have had in my lifetime as an England fan. It's amazing."

You mentioned Dan Burn, Adam...

Despite only coming on in the 75th minute, Dan Burn made the joint most clearances in England's 3-2 win over Mexico (6).

It's the most clearances made by a player subbed on that late into a World Cup game on record since 1966.

The 49 crosses sent in by Mexico were the most allowed by England in a World Cup match over the last 60 years.
