Real Madrid midfielder Isco has revealed his delight after scoring twice for Spain in their 3-0 victory over Italy at the Bernabeu on Saturday night.
Isco's brace was added to by Chelsea forward Alvaro Morata as Spain moved three points clear at the top of Group G with a comfortable success in the 2018 World Cup qualification fixture.
Isco took the plaudits following another impressive performance, and the 25-year-old has hailed his team's "perfect night".
"This is the most important match we've had so far, we had a perfect night and we were fair winners," Isco told Movistar. "False 9? It goes beyond a system, it's more to do with the attitude of the players that start and those who appear from the bench.
"We're a close-knit group and we've shown it for a long time. I had two shots and scored two goals, so I'm happy to be able to help the team on a special night, at the Bernabeu and against Italy."
Next up for Julen Lopetegui's Spain is a trip to Liechtenstein on Tuesday night.
