England skipper Harry Kane said his team must calm down after an emotionally draining win against Mexico. Playing at Azteca, the odds were against England but Thomas Tuchel’s team came up with their best.

England secured a massive 3-2 win in Mexico City to send the co-hosts packing. Jude Bellingham scored a brace in a matter of 99 seconds whereas Harry Kane scored from a spot kick to help England seal the deal.

Mexico came back with two goals, one right after Bellingham’s brace to keep themselves afloat. After Kane scored the third goal for his team, he himself conceded a penalty, which Raul Jimenez converted in the 69th minute.

However, England came up with a rearguard performance in defense to keep the hosts at bay in the last 15 minutes.

“Into the next round. Incredible night, we appreciate the support, I know we had loads in the stadium and loads watching back home staying up late,” Kane said in a video on social media.

“The connection with everyone is even stronger now and we feel that more than ever.

“We recover now, we calm down, we have a couple of days relaxing and then obviously get prepared for a massive quarterfinal.”

Kane, who has been in prime form, tipped the game against Mexico as one of his favourites in England jersey.

“Going into that game was so special, the atmosphere, the stadium… Everyone was so excited to be there and play in this iconic game,” he said.

“To come through the adversities in the game and battle through the way we did and put our bodies on the line and the boys covering every blade of grass was just incredible to be part of, to be honest.

“It’s one of my favourite games in an England shirt, without a doubt.

“Full credit to all the boys, so proud of everyone, all the staff, everyone involved.

“We knew the test we were going into, we knew how tough it would be and we came out on top.”

England will face Norway in the quarterfinal clash on Saturday, 11th July at 10.00 p.m. at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.
