WORLD CUP DAY 25: England's epic win in ...

THE TIMES
About this episode

What a game, what a performance, what a result! It was an England performance for the ages as they beat a passionate Mexico team in their own back yard - The Azteca.

There were outstanding performances all over the pitch with Jude Bellingham taking the headlines with two brilliant goals. Another from Harry Kane, a red card, twelve minutes of added time, finger tip saves and last ditch clearances from Dan Burn.


In part two, Brazil are out, beaten by Norway who England play next. And FIFA bend the rules and the USA benefit. 


Exhausting, exhilarating, what a night!


Tom Clarke, Matt Lawton, Gregor Robertson and Pete Rutzler give immediate reaction to a breathtaking game.  

**Show recorded just after final whistle and before it was announced Jordan Henderson had broken his wrist during the celebrations.
