Summary
Raul Jimenez converted a reviewed penalty to pull Mexico within 3-2 after Harry Kane clipped Brian Gutierrez in England's World Cup last-16 tie at Azteca.
The comeback chance opened after Jarell Quansah was sent off in the 54th minute for a studs-up challenge on Jesus Gallardo, a VAR decision pundits on BBC said was clearly correct.
Harry Kane had restored England's two-goal cushion at 3-1 from the spot shortly after the red card, after Mexico had cut a 2-0 deficit through Julian Quinones before halftime.
England ultimately held on to win 3-2 and reach the quarterfinals, where they will face Norway after ending Mexico's unbeaten World Cup record at Estadio Azteca.
