Spain edge England in five-goal thriller at Wembley

Spain secured a 3-2 victory over England in a high-scoring match at Wembley, with substitutes Alex Baena and Mikel Oyarzabal making decisive contributions. The game showcased Spain's technical skill as they overturned England's challenge to claim the win.
