MADRID (Reuters) - Spain's 2-0 win over England on Friday suggested their recovery from last year's World Cup flop is on track and confirmed they will be among the favourites when they bid for an unprecedented third straight continental title at Euro 2016.

La Roja's slick passing and more clinical finishing were ultimately the difference between the sides in the friendly in Alicante and the European champions stretched their winning run to seven matches thanks to a superb Mario Gaspar volley and a goal from substitute Santi Cazorla.
