England's Kane and Bellingham power 3-2 World Cup win over Mexico

Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham delivered the decisive goals as England defeated Mexico 3-2 in the Round of 16 at the 2026 World Cup in Mexico City. Kane converted a penalty after a red card reduced England to ten men, while Bellingham scored the opener and added a second‑half brace. Together the duo have accounted for ten of England's eleven goals in the tournament, representing roughly 55 % of the team's expected goals.

The match also produced a wave of viral moments: Kane’s high‑pitched post‑match interview was dubbed the "Bert meme," and Bellingham joked, “Have another shot and text your bosses to say you’re not coming in tomorrow,” when asked about fans calling in sick. The result sends England into the quarter‑finals, where they will face Norway.
