VIDEO: Spain's Mario Gaspar scores stunning spinning volley

A friendly affair short on talking points and consequence between two of Europe's marquee sides was spun on its head in the 72nd minute courtesy of a dazzling finish from Villareal full-back Mario Gaspar.
The 24-year-old Spain defender surged down the right flank on the counter before dashing into a central position to receive an incisive lob from Cesc Fabregas, twisting nearly a full rotation as he struck the ball with his right foot to elude a lunging Joe Hart.
Gaspar's dazzling effort gave Spain a 1-0 advantage over England with twenty minutes left to play in a Euro 2016 warm-up in Alicante on Friday.
