England vs Mexico ratings: Bellingham leads chaotic 3-2 win

Jude Bellingham’s 9.2-rated brace was the headline in England’s 3-2 win over Mexico in the World Cup last-16 tie. England survived a far messier night than the scoreline suggests, with Jarell Quansah’s 54th-minute red card and a serious wrist injury to Jordan Henderson adding more noise to an already wild game.

Bellingham and Kane set the standard

Bellingham scored twice in the 36th and 38th minutes, and the 9.2 rating fits the way he took control of the match. He was England’s top-rated player and, on the evidence of the goals alone, the most decisive figure on the pitch.

Harry Kane was the other major positive. He scored a penalty in the 60th minute, finished with one goal and one assist, and earned a 7.3 rating. Kane also now has six goals in five World Cup appearances this tournament, which tells you how much of England’s attacking rhythm still runs through him.

Quansah’s dismissal and the rest of England’s night

Quansah was sent off in the 54th minute for serious foul play, and England had to play a long stretch with 10 men. His 5.3 rating reflects how quickly the game turned for him, even if the team still got over the line.

Behind the forwards, Jordan Pickford posted a 7.2 rating and made three saves, which mattered in a match that kept swinging. Folarin Balogun and the rest of the attacking group could not make the game tidy, but England did enough to beat Mexico 3-2 and move on. The final whistle was followed by players singing Oasis’ 'Wonderwall' in front of supporters, which at least matched the chaos of the result.

Thomas Tuchel said of Henderson’s injury: "He injured his wrist. He is at the moment at the hospital, so it is quite a serious injury."
