Jamie Vardy celebrates gorgeous goal over Spain with Mannequin Challenge
As expected, Spain dominated possession and found the Macedonians hard to break down in the opening stages.
As a result, the press in Spain have reacted to Mata’s disappointing display in brutal fashion.
But Spain had the last laugh thanks to Aspas and Isco.
Spain’s equalising goal may have come when Dani Carvajal found space on Cresswell’s flank but the experience is still one the 26-year-old will treasure.
LFC are bringing the players back on a private jet to try and assess their fitness in a training session before the reds travel to Southampton on Friday.
“We’re a new group, with lots of new faces and youngsters who’ve joined the group recently and we’ve not played too many games with the manager”. It isn’t known if the Challenge was recorded before or after their two late goals snatched a 2-2 draw with England.
Spanish publication Marca were so critical of the midfielder’s performance that they didn’t even give him a match rating, as per the Manchester Evening News.
Despite only registering as a friendly, Spain’s clash with England at Wembley on Tuesday night had arguably received more attention than their competitive tie against Macedonia.
“That’s what we look for when players play for the national side”.
This was witnessed as early as the eight minute when the pacy Jamie Vardy tore into Pepe Reina’s box.
England’s width was causing problems to the Spanish back three and Raheem Sterling produced two excellent low crosses in quick succession; the first was nearly deflected into the net by Inigo Martinez and the second was inches away from finding the feet of the impressive Vardy.
However, the England side’s celebrations were perhaps a little premature, as the match ended on a 2-2 tie. Certainly not an official one where they remain motionless for a minute with rap music playing in the background.
