Kudos to Joselu in 10-man Spain's romp over Swiss

Coach Luis de la Fuente hailed unfancied striker Joselu after Spain grabbed their first win since lifting the Euro 2024 title by comprehensively beating Switzerland 4-1 in the Nations League in Geneva on Sept 8, despite going down to 10 men.

Joselu scored a fourth-minute header and Fabian Ruiz struck Spain's second in the 13th, before defender Robin le Normand was sent off seven minutes later.

Zeki Amdouni pulled one back for Switzerland in the 41st minute to give the hosts hope.

However, Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Ruiz struck again in the 77th minute before substitute Ferran Torres delivered the coup de grace three minutes later.

"I am very happy for all the players, especially Joselu. I am very fond of him," de la Fuente said.

"He is a player that I appreciate a lot. He always works very hard to help the team to improve. He had a great match and he did what we asked him to do with 11 players and with 10."
