Perfect Spain set Euro goals record on way to title

Spain broke the record for goals at a European Championship on Sunday in Berlin, as they beat England 2-1 to secure a record fourth title at the tournament.

Substitute Mikel Oyarzabal's 86th-minute winner that secured the title for Spain was also La Roja's 15th of the tournament, beating the 14 scored by France on their way to winning the 1984 edition of the Euro.

Luis de la Fuente's Spain dominated the tournament from start to finish, winning all seven games they played and, in the end, scoring the most goals to leave no doubt as to their credentials as Euro winners.

After an extremely cautious first half where Spain had more possession and their opponents got the only shot on target, it only took two minutes after the restart for the Spaniards to break the deadlock.

Teenager Lamine Yamal, who was named best young player of the tournament, found space down the right and delivered an assist for fellow winger Nico Williams to slot before England, who fell behind for the fourth successive game in the tournament, levelled in the 73rd through substitute Cole Palmer.

Oyarzabal, however, denied England their first major international trophy for 58 years as Spain won their first Euro since 2012.

Spain assistant captain Rodri, who was subbed off at half-time with an apparent injury, was named player of the tournament.
