To find the last time that both England and Spain scored in a match against each other, you have to go all the way back to 1987. Since then there have been eight games, with the home side winning three and the Iberians winning the other five. However, England have won seven of the nine matches they have played at home against Spain.
Remember when…
England recorded their first victory over Spain in over 10 years after a Frank Lampard goal was enough to separate the sides in 2011.

He has scored three times already in just eight appearances for his national side.
