00:00Newcastle United's influence was keenly felt as England booked their place in the World Cup quarterfinals with a dramatic 3
00:09-2 victory over Mexico.
00:12Former Magpies winger Anthony Gordon played a crucial role in the team's victory.
00:18He pressed well up and down the left-hand side, he defended well and also won the penalty that Captain
00:25Harry Kane stuck away.
00:27Gordon has now moved on from St James' Park, but Dan Byrne remains a key figure on time's side and
00:33he played a crucial role coming on as a substitute in one of England's biggest wins of the tournament.
00:41Byrne was introduced late on to help England withstand relentless Mexican pressure after Jarrell Quantz's red card.
00:50The towering defender brought his trademark composure, leadership and aerial strength as the three Lions held firm to secure their
00:58place in the last eight.
01:00Former Newcastle favourite Gordon also made a decisive contribution.
01:05His driving run in behind the Mexico defence forced goalkeeper Raul Rangel into a foul, winning the penalty that Harry
01:14Kane converted to restore England's two-goal cushion.
01:18And it proved to be the match-winning moment in a frantic contest at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico.
01:24Thank you very much.
