Nations League

BBC ONE West and ITV1 both reported on England's Nations League match against Spain at Wembley. BBC ONE West said England were beaten 3-2, while ITV1 described England as almost but not quite getting the result after leading and having a chance to go 3-1. Both channels reported that Lamine Yamal scored early for Spain after an error by Marc Guehi, that England came back through Anthony Gordon, with ITV1 saying Jude Bellingham combined with him, and that Harry Kane then put England ahead. Both reported that Kane had a penalty to extend the lead but slipped and missed it. Both channels reported that Spain recovered in the second half. BBC ONE West named Alex Baena as Spain's equaliser and Mikel Oyarzabal as the scorer of the winning goal. ITV1 said the winning goal came from the man who had broken English hearts in the Euros final two summers earlier. BBC ONE West said Spain are now unbeaten in 40 competitive games, while ITV1 said Spain had not lost in 39 matches. BBC ONE West also reported that Thomas Tuchel is England's manager and that he is seen differently after England's World Cup semi-final defeat to Argentina, with doubts and regrets. BBC ONE West also reported that Scotland began a new era under new manager Sebastien Pocognoli, creating chances but lacking a finish. BBC ONE West also reported calls for a side to boycott a fixture in Hungary because of the ongoing conflict in Gaza, that one player had withdrawn from the squad and the team would wear black armbands, and that Israel's Football Association welcomed the decision to play the game. ITV1 did not cover those items.
