England head coach Thomas Tuchel says his side never stopped believing and showed character after their dramatic victory over Mexico.

The Three Lions booked their place in the World Cup quarter-finals with a hard-fought 3-2 victory over Mexico at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City.

England will look to keeping their current momentum when they take on Norway in the World Cup quarter-finals on Saturday.

The German coach described the contest as a “crazy” encounter, insisting every member of the squad left everything on the pitch.

“I’m very proud,” Tuchel told FIFA.

“It was super-difficult. In the moments we thought we caught the momentum, we had setbacks.

“But when the going gets tough, they never give up, they never lose belief. We need to take this in.

“It was a crazy, crazy game. We left everything out there, every single one of us. It was one step more. Now it’s full steam ahead.”
