Declan rice on beating Spain: ‘We knew we were going to beat them’

England midfielder Declan Rice told ITV Sport: “We knew we were going to beat them tonight. The message from the manager after the Croatia game has been so positive.

“The first 10 minutes was the best we’ve played. Pressure, pressure.

“Overall 10 men for half an hour, winning 3-2 against a team unbeaten in 43 is massive.

“Argentina that day [at the World Cup] wasn’t meant to be. That’s football. When they [Spain] got a second maybe it could have gone another way.

“It’s a massive win.

“Massive. Everyting happened so quick so for him [James Trafford] to make two in the space of two seconds is massive.”
