Spain 3-0 Sweden: Report, Ratings and Reaction as La Furia Roja Take Control of Group F

Spain moved five points clear of second-placed Sweden at the top of their Euro 2020 qualifying group, as penalties from Sergio Ramos and Alvarto Morata and a terrific solo goal from 22-year-old Mikel Oyarzabal proved enough to provide a comfortable 3-0 victory.

The first half had little to shout about, with the headline incident coming in the 17th minute, when Spain had the ball in the back of the net. Dani Parejo pulled back for Rodrigo to slot in, but referee Willie Collum deemed Parejo to have initially taken the ball in an offside position, with replays showing the decision to be incorrect.
