Leeds United duo James Trafford and Dominic Calvert-Lewin helped England secure a remarkable victory over world champions Spain on Sunday evening, ending the hosts' 43-match unbeaten run and sealing top spot in UEFA Nations League Group A3.
In a night of drama in Madrid, Trafford proved the Three Lions' hero, producing an extraordinary double save in stoppage time to preserve their advantage.
First denying Fermin Lopez before somehow recovering to keep out Aymeric Laporte's follow-up, the goalkeeper delivered a moment of brilliance under immense pressure.
Trafford played the full 90 minutes, making six saves, recording 43 touches, completing 17 passes and registering five recoveries in an outstanding display.
England had raced into a 3-0 lead through Harry Kane, Ezri Konsa and Ben White, but a penalty and second Spanish goal set up a nervy finale.
With the visitors reduced to 10 men, Calvert-Lewin was introduced in the 83rd minute, replacing Anthony Gordon, to help England withstand the late pressure.
The Leeds forward made an important contribution, winning all three of his duels and recording an interception, a clearance and a recovery during his 11 touches.
But the defining moment belonged to Trafford, whose incredible late intervention ensured England inflicted Spain's first defeat since 2024.
It was a memorable night for the Leeds pair as the Three Lions celebrated a famous 3-2 triumph in the Spanish capital.
