Alvaro Morata celebrates goal - SkySports

Alvaro Morata, Atletico Madrid's on-loan Chelsea striker scored both goals as Spain laboured to a Euro 2020 qualifying win in Malta.


With 173 places separating the nations in the world rankings, an experimental Spain side controlled possession but struggled to break down the hosts.

Morata slid in from a tight angle in the first half, adding a second with a firm header from Jesus Navas' cross.

Chelsea keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga was barely needed as Spain remain unbeaten.

Spain, three-time Champions of Europe,  started their qualifying campaign with a narrow 2-1 home win against Norway on Saturday.
