Harry Kane scored his 93rd international goal on a halftime penalty as England beat Spain 3-2 to end Spain’s 43-game unbeaten run.
The Story
England ended Spain’s 43-game unbeaten streak with a 3-2 win in the Nations League on Sunday in Madrid.
Kane, the Ballon d’Or winner, converted a penalty on the stroke of halftime after being fouled by Pau Cubarsí, with the decision upheld following a video review.
England took control early, going ahead 2-0 in the 53rd minute when Ezri Konsa headed in from Declan Rice’s corner against the World Cup-winning Spain.
Jude Bellingham then set up defender Ben White shortly after the second goal.
Spain responded after midfielder Elliot Anderson was sent off for fouling Lamine Yamal, with Mikel Oyarzabal scoring the resulting penalty.
Nico Williams later pulled one back for Spain from Yamal’s pass, setting up a tense finish with 15 minutes left.
England took top spot in Group A3, with both teams already qualified for the quarterfinals before the match.
