England defender Jarell Quansah was sent off early in the second half of the highly charged World Cup clash against Mexico.
Quansah, returning to the starting XI for the last 16 clash, was dismissed following a VAR review for a high challenge on Mexico full-back Jesus Gallardo.
With both players contesting a 50-50 ball, Quansah was a touch too enthusiastic to win the ball on the stretch but jumped in and caught Gallardo high on his left leg.
Play was initially allowed to continue, sparking fury on the Mexican bench, with England winger Anthony Gordon then being taken out seconds later.
It was chaos on the touchline after that with numerous substitutes and coaching staff getting involved in heated fracas with the referee forced to stop play as a result.
Describing the unsavoury scenes live on talkSPORT, commentator Jim Proudfoot said: “It’s a 30-man brawl.
“Thomas Tuchel wasn’t happy with the reaction, and the Mexican bench were furious.”
World Cup thriller
The Quansah red card was one of a number of flashpoints in an enthralling last 16 clash in Mexico City.
England scored twice in the space of 99 seconds in the first half with two goals by Jude Bellingham.
The home side pulled one back with a close-range finish by Julian Quinones.
Both teams exchanged huge chances, including Nico O’Reilly hitting the post with a volley from the edge of the box.
England restored their two-goal advantage when Harry Kane slotted home a penalty after Anthony Gordon was tripped by Mexico goalkeeper Raul Rangel.
But Mexico hit back shortly afterwards on 69 minutes with a penalty of their own as Raul Jimenez slotted home after Kane was adjudged to have taken down Brian Gutierrez.
How long will Quansah be suspended for?
Bayer Leverkusen star Quansah will be ineligible to play in the quarter-final tie against Norway on Saturday, should England get there.
Rules dictate that players sent off will be banned for one match, whether it’s a straight red or two yellows.
However, England legend Stuart Pearce joked that prime minister Sir Keir Starmer could help get Quansah’s red rescinded.
Pearce said on commentary for talkSPORT: “Let’s hope Keir Starmer gets Quansah’s red card overturned in time for the quarter-finals.”
This was in reference to USA forward Folarin Balogun having his sending off during their round of 32 win over Bosnia-Herzegovina being overturned, making him eligible to face Belgium in the last 16.
talkSPORT understands US president Donald Trump played a huge role in Balogun being given a reprieve having personally called FIFA president Gianni Infantino over the ban.
