Harry Kane delighted England fans with a squeaky post-match interview after the epic 3-2 win over Mexico at the World Cup - before revealing a bizarre injury to Jordan Henderson in the celebrations. Kane had clearly lost his voice‚ signing Wonderwall in front of the England fans at one end of the Azteca stadium‚ and struggled to get his words out in a pitchside interview immediately after. But more worryingly‚ Henderson - a non-playing substitute - collapsed on the Azteca pitch and required medical attention for an injury to his arm. One report claimed he had fallen over an advertising hoarding.

Jarell Quansah was shown a straight red card as England coaches scrapped with their Mexican counterparts in a frantic last-16 match in Mexico City. The England right back flew in to a challenge early into the second half and when no foul was given‚ both sets of coaches soon found themselves embroiled in a touchline scrap. England assistant Anthony Barry was among those who got stuck in to the Mexico bench on the touchline‚ moments before a VAR review saw Quansah's foul reviewed as tempers escalated.

Manchester United are exploring a move for Chelsea's Andrey Santos as they continue to weigh up a number of potential midfield targets. It's understood that United's interest is in its early stages‚ but they are aware that Santos might be available after falling behind Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo in the pecking order at Stamford Bridge. The 22-year-old Brazilian has had loan spells at Nottingham Forest and Strasbourg since signing from Vasco da Gama for £18million three years ago. Chelsea are believed to value him at around £50million‚ although it's unlikely United would be willing to pay that much.

DR Congo head coach Sebastien Desabre has been praised for his 'dignity and devotion' to the national team after the death of his father was announced following their World Cup last-32 defeat by England. Desabre's side had threatened to produce one of the biggest shocks of the tournament after taking an early 1-0 lead through Brian Cipenga. England required a late Harry Kane brace to send them through to the last-16 at DR Congo's expense.

OLIVER HOLT IN ATLANTA: In a futuristic‚ gleaming steel stadium‚ protected from the hellish heat that beat down outside by a translucent dome‚ England spent 68 minutes wrestling with nightmares and staring at a defeat that would have ranked alongside their loss to the USA at the 1950 World Cup in Belo Horizonte as the worst in their history. Undone by their own abysmal defending in this Round of 32 match‚ kept at bay by the heroic performance of DR Congo goalkeeper Lionel Mpasi and denied what looked like a certain penalty for a foul on Harry Kane by the Jordanian referee‚ England were stalked by thoughts of the humiliation of an early exit when they had come to win the World Cup. Instead‚ well‚ instead‚ just Harry Kane. It is as simple as that‚ really. Sure‚ Jude Bellingham played like a titan again and Anthony Gordon made a big difference when he came off the bench but when a crushing 1-0 defeat was only 15 minutes away‚ Kane stepped up and blasted England into a Round of 16 tie against Mexico City in the mighty Azteca Stadium on Sunday evening.

JONATHAN MCEVOY: One early blessing for us terrestrial TV viewers in the BBC's putative coverage of the World Cup is that we are spared the sanctimonious presence of its former morale-arbiter‚ the oh-so-Woke Gary Lineker. Saint Gary is doing fine‚ mind. His Goalhanger production company is on-site in New York with a daily Netflix show‚ reviewing the tournament with co-hosts Alan Shearer and Micah Richards. Mr Lineker is laughing all the way to the bank - in a reputed £14million deal - and good luck to our Golden Boot winner of 1986.
