Spain 2-0 England: Mario stunner breaks Three Lions resistance

Mario Gaspar's stunning overhead kick set Spain on their way to a 2-0 victory over England in Alicante.

Villarreal right-back Mario headed the only goal on his debut as Spain closed their Euro 2016 qualification campaign with a win in Ukraine but his latest effort is set to live longer in the memory.

Remaining forward from one of the countless, probing attacks launched throughout the 90 minutes by Vicente del Bosque's men, Mario was picked out by a chipped pass from Cesc Fabregas and swivelled to acrobatically loop the ball past Joe Hart.

Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla was set up by fellow substitute Nolito to finish into the bottom corner six minutes from time, with the full-time score a fair reflection of the home side's dominance.

England won all 10 of their qualifiers for Euro 2016 but a difficult outing concluded with Manchester United's Michael Carrick leaving the field on a stretcher with an apparent ankle problem.
