  "account": "England suffered a 3-2 defeat to world champions Spain in the Nations League, marking their first match since the World Cup. The game, played at the Three Lions' home ground, saw Spain take the lead through Lamine Yamal in the first half. Anthony Gordon and Harry Kane put England ahead, but Kane's penalty miss saw Alex Baena level the score for Spain. Mikel Oyarzabal then scored the winner for Spain.\n\nEngland's James Trafford demonstrated his ball-playing ability but conceded after just two minutes. An important save by James Trafford halted Spain's second goal attempt in the first half. Jarell Quansah continued at right-back with a dominant performance, but headed over a chance to score. Ezri Konsa had shaky moments early on but improved throughout the game. Marc Guehi made an uncharacteristic error, giving Lamine Yamal the opening goal. Nico O'Reilly provided a cross for Kane's goal, but also lost possession leading to Spain's second goal. Elliot Anderson nearly punished for giving the ball away but Ferran Torres' shot was saved. Myles Lewis-Skelly made his first England start in centre midfield, giving a solid performance. Jude Bellingham produced another dominant display and provided an assist for England's equaliser. Bukayo Saka won a couple of free-kicks and had a quiet night. Anthony Gordon scored an excellent goal on a counter-attack and provided a dangerous cross throughout the match. Harry Kane started dropping deep after England's goal, scoring the second with a deflected header, but missed a penalty. Subs entered the game intermittently, with no time to impact the play.",
