    Spain vs England: Key discussion points

    After Spain defeated England at home in Wembley, this time it was the Three Lion's chance to give La Roja a taste of their own medicine. Gareth Southgate's team played an aggressive first half where they went up by three goals within the first 30 minutes. Spain managed to score twice in the second half, taking the result to 2-3. Here're key discussion points.

    Sterling and Rashford hit the sweet spot for England

    Two strikes from Sterling and one from Marcus helped England achieve their first victory on Spanish soil in 31 years. Sterling ended a three-year goal drought, and though Harry Kane did not manage to find the back of the net himself, he had a vital role to play in all three of the goals. Two goals came from long balls Pickford supplied to Kane.

    Spain struggled to keep up with England's pace

    Luis Enrique saw his first defeat as Spain manager, and his team could not keep up with the blistering pace of Southgate's England. The two goals following long balls by Pickford to Kane left the Spanish defense befuddled. Ramos has never been seen so clueless on the field, and Carvajal's absence due to injury surely played a part.

    How did the two Spanish goals come?

    After being unable to match England in any frontier in the first half, Spain did manage to pull a few punches in the second. Paco Alcacer and Sergio Ramos scored two goals for the home side, and Spain could even have netted in another but Pickford tackled Rodrigo Moreno. Sergio's goal was the last action of the match.

    What next for the two teams?

    Spain are the table toppers with six points and England are trailing them with four points to their name. Spain travel next to Croatia. England have a friendly against USA, after which they will host Croatia at Wembley.
