Where does Mexico win rank in England's best-ever competitive performances?
England have booked their place in the World Cup quarter-finals thanks to a heroic display in the Azteca to dump the hosts out of the tournament.
Jude Bellingham's double and a Harry Kane penalty were enough to get the job done as Thomas Tuchel's men overcame a feverish atmosphere, the altitude, and playing the last half hour with ten men to pull off a memorable victory.
It was only the third loss for Mexico at the famous stadium, so how does it compare to these other iconic competitive performances from the Three Lions?

England 3-2 Cameroon 1990
World Cup quarter-final
Italia 90 was a rebirth for the England national team, where no performance was more nail-biting than the quarter-final against Cameroon.
Up to that point, Bobby Robson's men had progressed through the tournament by securing wins by the odd goal, often in cagey and lacklustre affairs, but the Africans were a different story.
Having upset Argentina in their opener, they became the story of the finals and they continued their all-action style against the Three Lions.
David Platt gave England an early lead, but Cameroon turned the game on its head with two goals in the second half, and their story looked as though it might continue.
Enter Gary Lineker. The striker showed nerves of steel by converting a penalty seven minutes from time, before repeating the trick in extra time to finally hand England the win.

Argentina 0-1 England, 2002
World Cup group game
This win was more about the redemption arc than the performance, but it was still a display where England got the better of an opponent who seemed to have their number.
1986 saw Diego Maradona weave his magic and dark arts on England, and then in 1998, David Beckham fell foul of their antics as he was sent off and England crashed out on penalties to Argentina.
So this 2001 group game in Asia was finally some small revenge for the Three Lions, and especially Becks.
The England skipper stepped up to hammer home the winner from the penalty spot and avenge some of the demons from what happened four years earlier in St Etienne.

Italy 0-0 England, 1997
World Cup qualifier
A performance and atmosphere akin to the Mexico win as the Three Lions headed to Turin to secure a point that would see them qualify for the 1998 World Cup ahead of an Italy side who had already beaten them earlier in the qualifying campaign.
Glenn Hoddle pulled off a perfect game plan by restricting Italy to very few chances and frustrating them in their own backyard.
Ian Wright almost put the icing on the cake late on when his effort hit the post before Christian Vieri nearly stole it for the Italians, but the goalless draw was all they needed.
England made it through as Hoddle and his backroom staff led jubilant celebrations from the bench.

Germany 1-5 England, 2001
World Cup qualifier
One of the most famous away days in the history of English football as England went to Munich and thrashed one of their greatest sporting rivals.
Having already lost to the Germans earlier in the qualifying campaign - in the last game at Wembley no less - many fans feared the worst when Carsten Jancker put them ahead.
However, the Three Lions rallied. First through Steven Gerrard's equaliser, before Michael Owen took over the game.
The number 10 hit a famous treble to stun Germany and record an iconic win, with Emile Heskey adding some extra gloss to really rub salt in the wounds.

England 4-1 Netherlands, 1996
Euro 96 group
Has there ever been a more complete attacking display from England in the history of competitive competition?
The high point of what was the most glorious of summers saw the Three Lions pick apart one of the most daunting-looking Dutch teams of the era, and simply play them off the park.
Alan Shearer and Teddy Sheringham, England's SAS of the time, both netted a brace on a night where the Netherlands couldn't handle the Euro96 hosts.
Even now, watching the neat, intricate play that leads up to Shearer's second sends goosebumps up and down the body.
Almost perfection.

England 4-2 Germay, 1966
World Cup final
What else could it be? It may have been a game for a certain era of fan, but we've all seen enough of the highlights to know what a towering performance Sir Alf Ramsey's men put in to secure the country's finest moment.
A 4-2 win over rivals Germany saw Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters score for England, only for Germany to level the game up one minute from the end.
Hurst then made it a one-man mission, as he scored two further goals in extra time. One, which we all know did cross the line and then his famous clincher that was accompanied by Kenneth Wolstenholme's immortal words.
Can anything in 2026 top it? Here's hoping so.
