Reactions have been trailing Spain’s 3-2 victory over England in a Nations League clash at Wembley, with Man Utd legend
Roy Keane objecting to the assessment of Anthony Gordon, that the Three Lions are at par with La Roja.
Spain took their unbeaten run to 39 matches with the victor , but the game could have had a very different outcome had Harry Kane not missed a penalty after he headed England 2-1 in front before half time.
Gordon, who netted England’s equaliser stated that the performance was enough to win them the match and showed that they are a top team.
“I don’t think there is a gap [to Spain] I feel like we’re right there,” Gordon told ITV Sport. “We can win that game so easily. If the penalty goes in we can go on and win the game. In hindsight it’s always easy to say that. But I felt good in the game.
“I don’t think there is a gap and I think if we played them in the final I would’ve felt confident. Being confident doesn’t always translate into a win, but I think you’ve seen here tonight that we’re a top team.”
Reacting to the statement by Gordon, forward, Keane said on ITV Sport: “I disagree with Gordon, I think there is a gap. I think there is, obviously [Spain are] world champions, European champions.”
