The Three Lions will play Norway in Saturday's quarter-final after they beat Brazil on Sunday.

England had led 3-1 thanks to Kane's sixth goal of the tournament, also a penalty, which came minutes after Jarell Quansah was shown a straight red.

But Kane was adjudged to have made a foul at the other end just minutes later leading to a Raul Jimenez goal after a lengthy on-screen VAR review.

Jude Bellingham broke the deadlock after getting on the end of a Bukayo Saka cross before doubling the lead less than two minutes later in the first half.

But the Mexicans replied almost instantly with a goal of their own to half the deficit.

A free-kick from the left-hand side and it's whipped in and flicked on in packed penalty box before falling kindly for Julian Quinones, who lashes into the roof of the net.
