Bellingham hails ‘greatest night’ after stunning brace at Azteca

Jude Bellingham described England’s dramatic 3–2 victory over Mexico as the greatest night of his international career after scoring twice in just 95 seconds to silence an 80,000‑strong crowd at the Estadio Azteca. His first‑half brace put England in control before Jarell Quansah’s red card forced the team to defend for much of the second half. Harry Kane’s penalty added breathing room, and despite Mexico’s late push, England held firm to set up a quarter‑final clash with Norway.

Bellingham admitted the match’s chaos — goals, penalties, altitude and a one‑hour weather delay — made the triumph even more meaningful. He praised England’s resilience, contrasting it with past tournament disappointments he witnessed growing up. With four goals in five games, he has emphatically answered pre‑tournament doubts.

The 23‑year‑old said he dreams of uniting the nation, calling England’s effort “spectacular” and expressing pride in a night he believes supporters will never forget.
