Harry Kane penalty miss cost England in 3-2 Spain defeat
England surrendered a first-half lead before losing 3-2 to world champions Spain in a thrilling Nations League encounter at Wembley on Saturday. According to ESPN, Spain opened the scoring after Marc Guéhi’s misplaced touch allowed Lamine Yamal to race through and finish. England responded with goals from Anthony Gordon and Harry Kane to take a 2-1 lead into the interval.
Kane then missed a penalty after slipping as he struck the ball following Rodri’s foul on Jude Bellingham. Spain capitalised on another England mistake when Nico O’Reilly lost possession, allowing substitute Álex Baena to equalise. Mikel Oyarzabal completed the turnaround by lifting the ball over James Trafford, as Spain held on despite England’s late pressure.
