The pair were second-half substitutes at Wembley as the visitors mounted a remarkable late comeback, scoring in the 89th and 96th minutes to avoid defeat having been 2-0 down.

Aspas' contribution was especially notable. The Celta Vigo forward cut in from the right to curl a superb effort in off the left-hand post a minute from normal time, before Isco completed the comeback.
