Mexico v England LIVE: Fears Miami heat ‘will feel like 44C’ for Norway clash after Three Lions survive Azteca epic

England survived a mighty scare to secure a 3-2 victory against Mexico to advance at the World Cup 2026 thanks to Jude Bellingham’s quick-fire double and Harry Kane’s penalty in a classic tie at the Azteca Stadium.

A gritty rearguard performance late on, after Jarell Quansah’s red card left Thomas Tuchel’s side with 10 men, was enough to advance to the quarter-finals against Erling Haaland’s Norway and eliminate the co-hosts, with Bellingham netting twice in three minutes in the first half and Kane adding a second-half penalty.

Jordan Henderson suffered a freak injury during the celebrations, as he fell over the advertising hoardings and may have ended his World Cup, while attention will turn to a last-eight tie against the Norwegians on Saturday, where sweltering temperatures are set to cause issues for the Three Lions. With the Floridian humidity, temperatures for the game are set to feel like 44C.
