LIECHTENSTEIN 0 - 4 SPAIN: Torres double helps Spain see off minnows


Fernando Torres enjoyed a goalscoring return to form as Spain routed Liechtenstein in their Euro 2012 qualifying opener in Vaduz. Two goals of the highest order sandwiched David Villas 43rd international goal (just one behind Raul now) with David Silva jumping off the bench to slot in Spains fourth. The world champions set themselves on route to retaining their Euro 2008 triumph with a typically classy exhibition, running rings around a determined but limited Liechtenstein. Indeed if it hadn't been for a stubborn display from home keeper Peter Jehle, several spurned opportunities and the intervention of the crossbar late on, Spain and David Villa could have been celebrating yet more goals. Liechtenstein coach, Hans Zaugg, remarked after the match that Spain are the footballing version of perfection. Yes they are Hans.

FIFA Puskas Award 2009: Most Beautiful Goal of the Year

It's obviously that time of the year. A time for giving. A time for recieving. And a time for voting. As well as FIFA World Player of the Year, UEFA Team of the Year and so on, perhaps the most interesting of all will be who wins the inaugural FIFA Puskas Award, given to the scorer of the 'most beautiful' goal between July 2008 and July 2009. With goals from Iniesta and Torres among the ten, my vote would probably go to Grafite for his effort against Bayern Munich back in April. Actually having said that, taking into account the occasion and significance, maybe Iniesta should get it!
