New faces dominated European Championship qualifying as Spain coach Luis de la Fuente swept aside Norway in his first game in charge and a Wales forward rescued a dramatic draw in his first international match.

Best known until now for coaching Spain’s youth teams, De la Fuente didn’t have to deal with Norway’s striker Erling Haaland, who missed the game with a groin injury on Saturday. The 3-0 victory extended Spain’s record of 23 consecutive home wins in qualifying games for the European Championship. Spain was in control after Dani Olmo’s 13th-minute opening goal but didn’t close out the game until substitute Joselu scored twice in quick succession late on in his international debut.
