Spain showed why they were World Champions with a clinical 3-2 win over England at Wembley.
Here are the La Roja player ratings from the victory in the UEFA Nations League:
Starting 11
Unai Simón (6) - Left hung out to dry by his defence for Anthony Gordon and Harry Kane’s goals, helped significantly in the build-up with his passing and made an important save in the final seconds to deny Jude Bellingham.
Marc Pubill (5) - Drafted in late to replace Eric García, who suffered an injury in the warm-up, and had a tough evening up against Gordon.
Pau Cubarsí (6) - Decent performance alongside Laporte, now a key part of the Spain set-up despite still being a teenager.
Aymeric Laporte (7) - Proved to be an important part of Spain’s dominance in possession, managed a pass accuracy of 94% (62/64) and made seven defensive contributions.
Marc Cucurella (6) - Struggled in the first half to deal with the England wingers, and had the unfortunate final touch for Kane’s goal. Managed three tackles and two recoveries.
Rodri (7) - The calming presence in the Spanish midfield, gave away a penalty for a late foul on Bellingham early in the second half, but managed the most defensive contributions (10) and most touches (94).
Fabián Ruiz (6) - In a week where he spoke about dreaming of winning the Ballon d'Or, it was an ok performance from the PSG midfielder.
Dani Olmo (7) - He got the assist for Baena’s equaliser, created four chances, and completed both attempted dribbles.
Lamine Yamal (7) - Added a Wembley goal to his ever-growing collection of incredible moments. Should have had a hat-trick really, as he missed a couple of golden opportunities in the game, but was also a huge threat throughout.
Nico Williams (5) - Struggled to get into the game at all, managing only 17 touches before coming off after 55 minutes for Álex Baena.
Ferran Torres (4) - The World Cup Final goalscorer somehow walked off at 55 minutes without a goal to his name; had an early one ruled out for offside, then missed two sitters.
Substitutes:
Álex Baena (8) - Scored the equaliser for 2-2 five minutes after coming on for Nico Williams with a curling effort into the bottom right corner, also got the assist for Oyarzabal’s goal.
Pedri (N/A - On at 70 for Fabián Ruiz) - Completed 22/23 passes during the 20-minute stint that he was on.
Mikel Oyarzabal (7 - On at 54 for Ferran Torres) - Scored the winning goal with a brilliant chip over James Trafford.
Mikel Merino (N/A - On at 82 for Dani Olmo) - Replaced Olmo in the number 10 role during the last ten minutes.
