Spain vs England LIVE: Reaction to England’s Uefa Nations League victory in Seville

Spain 2-3 England
Uefa Nations League
Venue: Estadio Benito Villamarín, Seville

Gareth Southgate's men stunned Spain in one of the most memorable England wins for many a year.

Raheem Sterling scored two goals in the opening 45 minutes, having only scored twice in his previous 45 international appearances, with Marcus Rashford sweeping home in an extraordinary first half at Real Betis' Estadio Benito Villamarin.

Clinical, bold and a joy to behold, talk of relegation from the Nations League's top tier was replaced by hope of perhaps even making the finals after a 3-2 win that for a while had shades of the 2001 win in Germany about it.

Paco Alcacer netted shortly after his second-half introduction to ratchet up the pressure, and although Sergio Ramos scored with the last act of the game Southgate's young side passed this test of resilience.
