The two goals arrived in quick succession before the half‑time whistle, a quickfire double that underscored England’s efficiency. Observers noted the well‑worked nature of the moves, arguing the Three Lions were now offering good value for their slender lead.

Ahead of the second half, pundits wondered whether England could preserve the advantage or if Spain would rally.
