Jude Bellingham was absolutely furious with something that took place behind the goal and he had to be dragged away by Harry Kane.
The Brentford midfielder was an unused sub at the Azteca, but he still got a booking late on as England battled to hold on to the lead.
However, he hurt himself in the joyous scenes after the full-time whistle, souring the mood. Speaking to BBC, Harry Kane revealed: “Jordan Hendo just fell over there. I think he’s okay.”
Jude Bellingham added: “He’s in a bit of bother, but our medical team have got everything under control. Probably best for me not to say too much. We’re there to support him.”
Thomas Tuchel was asked about Henderson's condition in a post-match interview on BBC Sport and gave a worrying verdict. He said: "Not good, not good... Jordan just fell over and injured his wrist, it looks really bad."
Video footage posted to social media saw Henderson attempted to climb over an advertising hoarding before falling heavily on his arm.
A Jude Bellingham brace within two minutes in the first-half put England in dreamland before a crazy game played out. Mexico struck back before the break through dangerman Julian Quinones. Jarell Quansah saw red following a VAR review 10 minutes into the second-half, fuelling an already chaotic game.
Harry Kane struck from the spot to re-establish the two goal lead despite being a man down, but VAR again haunted England when Kane was penalised for kicking Brian Gutierrez's leg in the box.
Raul Jimenez extended his stunning record from the spot to create a nerve-shredding ending, but the Three Lions battled like never before to secure one of the greatest wins in the country's recent history.
