Spain's defender Marcos Alonso (left) jumped for the ball with England's defender Ben Chilwell (centre) and England's defender Kieran Trippier during the UEFA Nations League football match. (CRISTINA QUICLER/AFP) Raheem Sterling scored twice as England delivered one of their finest victories of the modern era by beating Spain 3-2 in Seville on Monday (Oct 15). Away from home, and against a Spanish side in scintillating form under their new coach Luis Enrique, this was certainly England's best win under Gareth Southgate and, perhaps, their most impressive since thrashing Germany 5-1 in Munich in 2001. Marcus Rashford was the other scorer in a breathless opening 45 minutes here, which witnessed Spain conceding three on home soil for the first time in their history. "To play the way they did, this should be a great reference point for this team for the future," Southgate said.

Dũng is in the national team for the upcoming Southeast Asian Football Federation championship, but his performance on Monday will have done him no favours in his efforts to win the No 1 shirt.
