SEVILLE (Reuters) - Spain coach Luis Enrique resisted the temptation to criticise his players after their "awful" first-half display as they went down 3-2 to England in the Nations League on Monday for their first home loss in a competitive game for 15 years.

Two goals from Raheem Sterling and a Marcus Rashford strike gave England a stunning 3-0 halftime lead -- the first time Spain had ever conceded three goals in a competitive home game -- in the League A Group 4 match in Seville.
