Lamine Yamal and Anthony Gordon on target as Spain beat England in Nations League
The world champions came from 2-1 down to beat Thomas Tuchel’s side.
London, England - On September 26, 2026, Barcelona's Lamine Yamal and Anthony Gordon both scored for Spain as they defeated England 3-2 in a thrilling UEFA Nations League match at Wembley Stadium. Manager Luis de la Fuente fielded a Barcelona lineup, including Eric Garcia, Pau Cubarsi, Rodri, Dani Olmo, and Yamal. Pedri and Fermin Lopez were substituted for the bench, while Gordon started for England.
However, Garcia was substituted out at the last minute due to a knee injury and replaced by Marc Pubill. Spain took the lead in the 1st minute with Yamal's goal, the quickest conceded at Wembley. Although Ferran Torres had a goal disallowed for offside, England responded with an equalizer from Gordon on the 36th minute, following a quick counter-attack.
Harry Kane scored for England just before halftime via a deflection off Marc Cucurella. Despite Kane missing a penalty kick in the second half, Spain leveled the score with Dani Olmo's goal, assisted by a defensive lapse from England. Mikel Oyarzabal then completed Spain's victory with a stunning header.
