World champion Spain punishes England errors to win Nations League thriller
- On Saturday, England lost 3-2 to world champions Spain at Wembley in the opening Nations League fixture, with Spain capitalizing on two defensive errors to secure victory.
- Spain, unbeaten in 39 games, took an early lead after defender Marc Guehi was caught in possession; midfielder Alex Baena added a second goal following Nico O'Reilly's misplaced pass in the 60th minute.
- England fought back with goals from Anthony Gordon and captain Harry Kane, though Kane struck the crossbar with a 54th-minute penalty, squandering a chance to lead 3-1.
- Manager Thomas Tuchel replaced Gordon with Morgan Rogers with 20 minutes remaining; Gordon later defended the substitution, saying, "I have no complaints with the manager taking me off."
- Tuchel acknowledged the errors proved costly but emphasized his team's performance, stating, "We're playing against the world champions, the European champions, and we went toe-to-toe.
