A hoarse Harry Kane was left 'speechless' after England’s 3-2 victory over Mexico at the Azteca, a result that books a World Cup quarter-final date with Norway. The England captain, barely able to speak, praised the fans' support following a frantic encounter that saw Jude Bellingham score twice in the first half.
Bellingham, the midfield maestro, put the Three Lions on their way to the last eight with a dominant display. After the match, the Real Madrid star implored supporters back home to 'text your bosses and say you're not coming into work' and to 'pour another shot' in celebration of a historic win on Mexican soil.
“England beat Mexico 3-2 to reach World Cup quarter-finals, with Kane losing his voice and Henderson injured.”
The victory came at a cost. Midfielder Jordan Henderson was injured when he tripped over advertising hoardings during England's celebrations, requiring a stretcher. However, there was a positive update on the right-back crisis as Reece James was spotted running at the Azteca, appearing to have shaken off a hamstring injury.
England's courageous performance saw them overcome the co-hosts in their own backyard, a result that prompted the team to let loose and fans to serenade them with Wonderwall. Kane, still processing the win, could only express his amazement at the night's events.
