Spain secured a commanding 4-1 victory over Croatia in their latest Nations League fixture, with teenage forward Lamine Yamal scoring twice to lead the rout, according to Anadolu Agency.
Yamal's double continued a breakout run of form for the young winger, who has become a central figure in Spain's attack. The scale of the win underlines Spain's strong recent form in the competition.
England edge past ten-man Czechia

The result offers a confidence boost for England as they continue their Nations League campaign, while Czechia will look to regroup after finishing the game a man down.
