Late goals save Spain at Wembley
England threw away a two-goal lead in the dying stages of their international friendly with Spain this evening as the visitors rescued a late 2-2 draw at Wembley.
Goals from Adam Lallana and Jamie Vardy had seemingly set the hosts on their way to victory in Southgate's final match in interim charge of the team, but Iago Aspas and Isco struck late on to maintain Julen Lopetegui's unbeaten start to life as Spain boss.
Germany have played out a goalless draw with Italy at the San Siro to see their unbeaten run against their fellow European heavyweights extend to a fourth game.

There was to be no revenge for the hosts, who were knocked out of Euro 2016 by yesterday's opponents at the quarter-final stage, but they did at least ensure that their unbeaten run on home soil against Die Mannschaft will extend into a fourth decade by the time they next lock horns.
