Former England captain Alan Shearer praised the team's resilience under difficult environmental conditions high above sea level during a broadcast on BBC Sport.
"Those players have represented their country in magnificent form. Every single player had the right attitude.
Everything that could have gone against them, everything that was thrown at them - the energy, the altitude - they have got past all of that and they deserved it.
That is an incredible performance from start to finish," said Shearer.
Shearer also credited the strategic decisions made by the coaching staff after the team was reduced to 10 men.
"When England were under the cosh, the manager made the right substitutions. The subs came on and they did their job.
What an incredible night," said Shearer.
England captain Harry Kane briefly played down the severity of the injury to his teammate directly after the incident.
"Jordan just fell over there, I think he's okay, just something to do with his arm," said Kane.
Midfielder Jude Bellingham expressed his emotions after being named the man of the match for his powerhouse performance.

I am so proud of this team. What we have done is spectacular," said Bellingham.
Former England defender Micah Richards lauded the impact of the young midfielder on the national team stage.
