Morata joins Torres as Spain's joint-top scorer at Euros

Alvaro Morata has joined Fernando Torres as Spain's top scorer at European Championships.

The striker struck in extra-time as La Roja beat Croatia 5-3 over 120 minutes to progress to the quarter-finals of Euro 2020.

Morata now has two goals to his name in the tournament, having also found the net in the 1-1 draw with Poland in matchday two.

What record has Morata matched?

Having netted three times in Euro 2016, the 28-year-old's tally in European Championships now stands at five.

That puts him level with Fernando Torres and one ahead of Barcelona great David Villa.
