🦁 Four-minute madness puts England in the driver's seat against Spain
England staged a comeback against Spain in their Nations League opener after falling behind early. Goals from Anthony Gordon and Harry Kane secured a lead for England by halftime.
Why it matters
High-profile international football matches significantly impact team rankings and tournament momentum.
Spain's early 1-0 lead did not last long against England at Wembley, as Thomas Tuchel's Three Lions have roared back to take control in their Nations League Group A opener.
A lightning strike opener by Lamine Yamal set the World Cup holders off and running inside the opening two minutes in the capital, with a shock miss from PSG 's Ferran Torres nearly doubling La Roja 's advantage.
That huge miss could come back to bite Spain in a big way.
