What happened. Spain came from behind to beat England 3-2 at Wembley, with substitutes Alex Baena and Mikel Oyarzabal scoring after Harry Kane missed a second-half penalty. Gordon said there is no gap to Spain, but Keane disagreed on ITV Sport.
- Gordon scored England's equaliser and insisted they are 'right there' with Spain.
- Keane cited Spain's World Cup and European titles as proof of a gap.
- Tuchel said clear-cut mistakes cost England and they thought they had Spain at half-time.
“I disagree with Gordon, I think there is a gap.”
— Roy Keane
The defeat leaves England reflecting on missed chances as Spain extend their unbeaten run to 39 games.
