Harry Kane capped off England’s dramatic World Cup win over Mexico with a sweet kiss for his wife Kate, as the Three Lions celebrated one of their most emotional victories of the tournament.
England booked their place in the quarter-finals after a nerve-shredding 3-2 win at the iconic Azteca Stadium, surviving a hostile crowd, stormy conditions and a late Mexican fightback.
It was a night of football chaos, but also one of huge emotion for the players and their families.

Kane and Bellingham were the heroes for England yet again
Kane, who scored what proved to be the decisive goal from the penalty spot, was seen heading into the stands after the final whistle to embrace Kate. The couple shared a tender kiss as England’s travelling supporters roared around them.
For fans, it was one of the sweetest images of the night.
The England captain had once again delivered when his country needed him most, and his quiet moment with Kate offered a softer contrast to the madness that had unfolded on the pitch.
The match itself was packed with drama.
Jude Bellingham gave England a dream start with two quick goals, showing exactly why he has become one of the brightest stars of this World Cup. Mexico hit back before half-time, and the pressure grew even heavier when England were reduced to ten men after Jarell Quansah was sent off.
Kane’s penalty restored breathing space, but Mexico refused to go quietly. A late goal made the final stages almost unbearable as England were forced to defend desperately to protect their lead.
When the whistle finally went, relief poured out of the players.
Jordan Pickford was also seen celebrating with wife Megan, while other England stars joined their families and partners in the stands. The WAGs, who had backed the team through a tense and stormy night, became part of the emotional post-match scenes.
