England secured a famous victory over Mexico in the round of 16 as they won 3-2 at the Azteca Stadium; however, there will be serious concern for Jordan Henderson who suffered an unusual injury.
A brace from Jude Bellingham in the first half before Harry Kane added a penalty in the second half was enough to ensure they progressed to the quarter final of the World Cup where they will now face Norway.
While they conceded goals from Julian Quinones and Raul Jimenez England defended with incredible heart, particularly after the red card to Jarell Quansah.

Henderson was seen being stretchered off the pitch and being given oxygen, leading to questions from the BBC to Kane in his post-match interview to figure out what happened to the former Liverpool captain.

The Real Madrid star said: “He is in a bit of bother but the medical team have got everything under control, probably not best to give too much detail when I don’t know too much about what is going on but everyone was there to support him and it is a beautiful thing to see.”
Thomas Tuchel gives worrying update on Jordan Henderson injury
Speaking post-match, Tuchel was asked about Henderson's fall over the advertising hoardings.
"Not good, not good, next thing is a right defender now with the red card, Jordan just fell over and injured his wrist," he said, adding: "It looks really bad."
Henderson and Tuchel will be hopeful this injury does not spell the end of his World Cup as England look to win their first tournament for 60 years.
They are still on course to reach the final and will be confident they can overcome Norway in the quarter-final.
