England 2-3 Spain: Keane vs Gordon on gap

Roy Keane disagreed with Anthony Gordon's assessment that England are at the same level as Spain after the World Cup winners came from behind to beat Thomas Tuchel's side 3-2 in their Nations League opener.

Spain extended their unbeaten run to 39 games with the win at Wembley, but the game could have had a very different outcome had Harry Kane not missed a second-half penalty after heading England 2-1 in front before the break. The momentum shifted in Spain's favour after Kane's slip, with Alex Baena equalising off the bench before setting up the winner, scored by fellow substitute Mikel Oyarzabal.

Gordon, who scored England's equaliser from a terrific counter-attacking move, felt the performance was enough to win them the game. "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."

Responding to the England forward, Sky Sports pundit Roy 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."
