Morata’s second of game, just before the break, ended the contest, as Yamal came on to break new ground for Spanish football.

However, Spain were in no mood to ease up, despite a second half consolation for the hosts, as the rampant Morata completed his hat trick.

Nico Williams scored his first competitive goal for Spain in the closing stages but the night belonged to Yamal, as he bagged Goal No.7, to also set a new youngest ever scorer record.
