Anthony Gordon believes that England missed an opportunity to beat Spain after their 3-2 defeat in the UEFA Nations League at Wembley. The Newcastle's winger scored England's equaliser before Harry Kane put the hosts ahead.

Gordon felt that England were capable of winning the match, particularly after Kane's penalty which hit the crossbar early in the second half.

“I think it’s a bit of a missed chance,” Gordon said after the game. He added that England made mistakes that ultimately cost them the victory, despite matching Spain for long periods.

The winger also said he did not believe that there was a gap between the two teams and that his nation could have gone on to win if Kane had scored the penalty.
