Álvaro Morata enjoyed sweet redemption by helping fire Spain to a 5-3 win over Croatia after extra time on Monday to reach the quarter-finals of Euro 2020 in an enthralling match laced with drama and storylines.
Spain fell behind in the first half to a Pedri own goal from near the halfway line after an incredible error from the goalkeeper Unai Simón but they looked on their way to a comfortable victory with goals from Pablo Sarabia, César Azpilicueta and Ferran Torres.
