Spain 3 Scotland 1: Levein's dream dies in six minutes as Silva stars in Spanish win
Chance: Fernando Llorente (left) attempts to add to Spain's lead

Working a one-two on the edge of the box, the Manchester City wizard calmly bent home a superb shot, with Scotland powerless to stop arguably the best player in the Premiership right now.

Emerging after the break, the Scots nearly fell even further behind when Naismith gave the ball away deep in defence, allowing Pedro to set up Silva for a shot which went high and wide. In truth,  it was only delaying the inevitable.

Silva may have made way for promising Barcelona midfielder Thiago Alcantara on the hour mark but not before he had found space in the penalty area to set up Villa for the third goal of the night.
