Santi Cazorla scored the second goal in Spain's 2-0 win over England in Alicante |
PREMIER LEAGUE players stole the show all over Europe on an action-packed night of international football.
Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla eventually put paid to England despite an encouraging display from Roy Hodgson's Three Lions in Alicante.
He side-footed past Joe hart in the England goal to make it 2-0 after Mario Gaspar had given the hosts the lead with a stunning overhead kick from a delightful lofted ball from Chelsea's Cesc Fabregas.
Elsewhere, Belgium ran out 3-1 winners at home to Italy, with Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen and Manchester City's summer signing Kevin De Bruyne both on target.
Michy Batshuayi has been linked with a move to Arsenal and he outlined his credentials with the third goal.
