England captain Harry Kane appears to have emerged from the Three Lions’ battling World Cup last-16 victory over Mexico with a new fan – US president Donald Trump.
Kane scored what turned out to be England’s winner from the penalty spot in the 60th minute of the match at the Azteca in Mexico City as Thomas Tuchel’s side dug deep to book their place in the quarter finals, where they will meet Erling Haaland’s Norway.
A quick-fire brace from midfielder Jude Bellingham had put England ahead in the first half, before Julián Quiñones pulled a goal back for the tournament’s co-hosts just before the break.
Bayern Munich striker Kane extended England’s advantage on the hour mark, scoring from the penalty spot after Anthony Gordon was fouled by Mexico goalkeeper Raul Rangel.
However, Kane then conceded a penalty when he kicked Brian Gutierrez in the England box, and Raul Jimenez converted to half the deficit to 3-2 after 69 minutes.
