England were well aware of what was awaiting them at this iconic sporting venue in a game labelled the biggest in Mexico's football history.

Tuchel's side were thrust into one of the most testing atmospheres in any arena, at altitude of more than 7,000ft, and produce a display of maturity, quality and grit that will give them huge confidence and belief.

England's big performers delivered, especially Bellingham, who produced one of the great individual performances, not only with his two goals but an outstanding last-ditch tackle to deny Mexico defender Cesar Montes when he looked certain to make it 2-2 on the stroke of half-time.

Tuchel also deserves great credit for a gameplan in which England sat deep to take the heat out of Mexico's fiery approach – although the hosts had them rocking as they were roared on by their fervent supporters.

As Mexico pressed in those agonising 11 added minutes, bodies were thrown on the line to see out a memorable triumph.

England captain Harry Kane, speaking to BBC Sport: "It was a crazy game. We had to fight and we had to find something. I've just been singing, I can't really talk. The occasion, the team, everything against us, we found a way."

On the penalty decision going against him: "I thought I got to the ball first, it was one of those days. The ref gave a lot against us. In the end it didn't matter so I'm happy."

On the supporters: "Incredible, unbelievable support. [I'm] speechless."

This has shown we have a team who are capable of winning the World Cup. The belief this will give to these players is huge.

England's Anthony Gordon, speaking to BBC Sport: "I think it probably won't kick in until this evening. To celebrate like we just did was once in a lifetime. We spoke about this being a once in a lifetime opportunity and atmosphere but it was also going to test us and it did in the worst way possible. We came through. That can't say any more about us.

"It was difficult. The alitude the first 20 minutes was difficult. We're good players, we play the top level, that's what we're paid to do. We knew it would be tough but big players, big moments.

"When we got a man sent off, I knew I'd have to be trustworthy and run more than ever. I'm a player where I want to be good at everything, whatever kind of game I'm in I can change the game. I try to do my best for the team and hopefully I've done that.

"We focus on the process, how we play, how we train. The outcome we can never control, but we can control how we react, how we train, and that's doing us well so far."

What an absolutely brilliant night for England.

I've done six major tournaments with England and that is by far the greatest night that I've witnessed.

It was utterly compelling and what a great result for them.

Former England striker

Those players have represented their country in magnificent form tonight.

Every single player had the right attitude.

Everything that could have gone against them, everything that was thrown at them, the energy, the altitude, they have got past all of that and they deserved it.

That is an incredible performance from start to finish.

When they were under the cosh the manager made the right substitutions. The subs came on and they did their job.

What an incredible night.

Football eh, John? It can do that to you.

The final whistle has just been blown in the re-run on BBC Two.

Those last few minutes were tough. But after a clearance from John Stones, heroic block and header from fellow substitute Dan Burn and a final save from the brilliant Jordan Pickford and the celebrations could begin.

"Forty years on from the 'hand of god' the football fates have smiled this time," says commentator Guy Mowbray.

Let's get some full-time reaction from pundits, players and manager...

We are into stoppage time in the re-run currently playing on BBC Two.

At the same time, BBC Radio 5 Live's 606 phone-in has started.

You can watch that live at the top of this page or listen along on Sounds.

Sorry for your loss Mary.

Football is meaningless really, in the scheme of things, but it can come to represent so much to so many people for completely different reasons.

When watching these World cup moments it is impossible not to think of the people who are no longer with us, who we would so love to share this with.

Glad to hear you were able to get some respite Mary, even for just a couple of hours.

Apologies if you lost us for a moment there.

We have been following the match action on the re-run which is currently showing on BBC Two, which is now in the final 10 minutes - plus another 11 minutes of stoppage time.
