England reached the 2026 World Cup quarter-finals with a 3-2 win over co-hosts Mexico at the Azteca Stadium on Monday night. Jude Bellingham scored twice and Harry Kane converted a penalty as England edged through.

The match, slated for a 1pm BST kick-off, began an hour late, with the 6pm local start pushing thousands to stay up into the early hours. According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, Leeds readers had their say on the match.

Bellingham struck twice inside a minute to put England in front, before Mexico replied to make it 2-1 at half-time.

Kane restored the two-goal cushion from the spot, then later conceded a penalty, but England held firm to close out the win.

Three-word reactions ranged from 'Gave me palpitations' and 'Edge of seat' to 'Well done, England' and 'Glorious victorious England'. Others called it 'Fast, furious, frenetic', while the hopeful refrain 'It's coming home' also featured. England face Norway in the quarter-finals on Saturday.
