Yamal and Pedri shine as Spain recover to beat England 3-2 at Wembley

Two leading members of the first-team ranks at La Liga giants Barcelona secured noteworthy individual milestones on Saturday evening as world champions Spain extended their remarkable unbeaten stretch on the international front.

Luis de la Fuente's troops made the trip to Wembley for a Nations League meeting with England, and when all was said and done, La Roja emerged on the right side of the result, recovering from a goal down to triumph by three goals to two.

Yamal writes his name into the history books

Barcelona star Lamine Yamal was responsible for opening the scoring in London, after catching England defender Marc Guéhi napping in possession early on.

And in the process, the prodigious young winger secured for himself a piece of recent history. As revealed by statisticians Opta: "At 19 years and 75 days, Lamine Yamal has become the youngest player to score against England in a competitive match at Wembley in the last 20 years."

Pedri reaches half-century for La Roja

Yamal was not the only Barca star to emerge from Wembley with reason to remember this evening's fixture fondly. Introduced off the bench during the second half, Blaugrana midfielder Pedri hit a personal milestone on the international front, with his 50th appearance in the famed red of Spain.

The result keeps Spain's impressive run under De la Fuente firmly intact and offers a timely boost for the two Barcelona talents ahead of the domestic campaign.
