Tuchel slams England's 'terrible start' as Spain edge Uefa Nations League thriller

Spain claimed a thrilling 3-2 victory over England at Wembley in the opening round of the UEFA Nations League, thanks to a decisive goal from Mikel Oyarzabal. The world champions, who had just lifted the World Cup, extended their unbeaten run to 39 matches, recovering twice from conceding the lead. Oyarzabal, who also scored the winner against England in the 2024 European Championship final, sealed the win with a delicate dink over goalkeeper James Trafford in the 74th minute.

England's Thomas Tuchel expressed frustration, calling the start "terrible" and lamenting the team's mistakes that allowed Spain to dominate. Despite the defeat, Kane acknowledged England's performance against the world champions, stating they could have won on another day. Spain's victory has given them an early advantage in Group A3, while England must reflect on another painful loss against the team that defeated them in the Euro 2024 final.
