  "account": "LONDON, September 27 — World champions Spain overcame a sluggish start to defeat England 3-2 at Wembley, denying the hosts a much-needed victory after their disappointing World Cup exit. This victory extends Spain’s remarkable unbeaten streak to 39 matches, a European record. England's poor start saw Lamine Yamal exploit a defensive error by Marc Guehi, leaving them trailing 2-0. Despite England's criticism for their defensive tactics during their World Cup semi-final loss to Argentina, they showed resilience by scoring in the 36th minute through Anthony Gordon, who capitalized on a team move. Five minutes later, Harry Kane equalized for England after a deflected cross from Marc Cucurella hit the back of the net. England's lead was short-lived as Spain's substitutes Alex Baena and Mikel Oyarzabal scored in the second half to turn the game around. Spain's manager, Luis de la Fuente, expressed confidence that his team would have come back from a 3-1 deficit, emphasizing that the team's growth and improvement remain their primary focus. England's Harry Kane lamented his team's inability to maintain their best level throughout the match, echoing similar sentiments.",
