World Cup qualifying round-up: Six of the best from Spain as European champions crush Turkey
"Pedri needed only six minutes to break the deadlock in style as he whipped a superb finish into the bottom-right corner. Merino doubled the lead six minutes later as he slotted a cool finish beyond Ugurcan Cakir after Nico Williams and Mikel Oyarzabal were afforded far too much time and space in the box to tee him up. Merino made it 3-0 in first-half stoppage time, Oyarzabal again the provider after another intricate team move involving Pedri and Ferran Torres."
"Torres lashed home at the near post after a rapid Spain counter-attack seven minutes into the second half before Merino completed his hat-trick with a wondrous curling effort from long range. Pedri fittingly had the final say when he fired in his second from the edge of the area, Spain laying down an emphatic marker as they made it two wins from two to start their Group E campaign."
Spain thrashed Turkey 6-0 in Konya, with Pedri opening after six minutes and later adding a second, Mikel Merino scoring a first-half hat-trick and Ferran Torres also on the scoresheet. Spain moved to two wins from two in Group E. Germany recovered from their defeat to Slovakia as Florian Wirtz produced a moment of magic in a 3-1 win over Northern Ireland. Slovakia top Group A after a last-gasp 1-0 win over Luxembourg. Memphis Depay became the Netherlands' outright record goalscorer with his double in a 3-2 victory over Lithuania, reaching 52 international goals.
