England captain Harry Kane has praised the players for digging deep to secure a dramatic victory over Mexico in the Last 16 of the World Cup.

The Three Lions progressed to the quarter-finals after a hard-fought 3-2 victory over Mexico at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City.

The Bayern Munich striker got his name on the scoresheet to score his sixth goal of the tournament as they prepare to take on an unpredictable Norway side in the next round.

Kane credited the team’s togetherness, fighting spirit and the incredible backing of the travelling supporters, describing the result as one of the most special nights of his international career.

“It was a crazy game,” Kane told FIFA.

“We had to find something… We found a way. We had incredible, unbelievable support from the fans. I’m speechless.”

“Every individual player had to dig deep and find something deep within themselves to get us through.

“There were so many heroes out there. I’m just so proud of the team and the way they fought. We found a way to get through it together. What a special night.

“We speak a lot about togetherness and desire and working for each other. But ultimately, you can talk, but you have to prove it.

“There’s no bigger test than being here, away from home, against Mexico, and having to fight through so many adversities.

“It just brings you closer together – more memories, more feelings, more emotions. I just can’t wait to enjoy this over the next couple of days with the boys.”
