David de Gea might be best known for his ability with his hands, but the Manchester United goalkeeper is not a slouch with his feet either.

And he showed that on Tuesday evening as he provided a brilliant 80-yard assist for Iago Aspas to give Spain their fifth goal of a 6-1 demolition of Argentina.

By the time of De Gea's excellent pass up the field, Argentina had almost entirely collapsed in the face of their brilliant opponents.
