Of England’s 3 points, 2 were scored by Jude Bellingham (at 36 and 38 minutes).
The other point was a penalty kick scored by Harry Kane at 60 minutes.

England played about half the game with 10 players against Mexico’s 11, because in Minute 54, England player Jarell Quansah got a red card and was expelled from the game. When that happens there is no substitute. Yet England still won.

England star Harry Kane described the game thusly: “It was a crazy game. We had to fight. We had to find something. I can’t really talk. Yeah, the occasion, the team, everything against us. ​We found a way.”
