A through ball Joe Allen would’ve been pleased with.
Forget what happened to them in Brazil a couple of years ago, what we’ve seen of Spain at Euro 2016 shows us that they’re far from finished.
Having battered Turkey in their last outing, it only took them a few minutes to take the lead against Croatia on Tuesday evening, and thanks largely to the vision of David Silva.
The Manchester City man picked up the ball on the right after a Cesc Fabregas’ pass. Making his way infield he then picked out the Chelsea man with an incredible pass.
As Fabregas plays the ball across goal, Morata, who will be back at Real Madrid next season, had the task of nudging it over the line.
GOAL! Morata bundles the ball over the line after sterling Silva work, Spain lead 1-0 #CROESP https://t.co/uiNW9hCtl2

A third European Championship on the trot? You wouldn’t bet against it.
