Euro 2020: Spain's show character in spades again, as Morata, Simon inspire extra-time win vs. Croatia

This might not be the great Spain team of a decade ago but the class of 2021 are not going away easily.

At risk of going home early after opening their Euro 2020 campaign with two limp draws, Luis Enrique's side produced a 5-0 win over Slovakia to book their place in the knockout rounds. Pitched against Croatia, the 2018 World Cup runner-ups, in the last-16, they went behind thanks to a bizarre own goal, recovered to go 3-1 up, conceded twice in the final 10 minutes to ensure extra time and then had to win the game all over again.
