SEVILLE, Spain, Feb 11 - Goals from David Villa and Fernando Llorente gave Spain a 2-0 win over England in a friendly on Wednesday as substitute David Beckham equalled Bobby Moore's record of 108 caps for an England outfield player.
A careless pass by defender Phil Jagielka let the home side in to score the opener on 36 minutes. Xabi Alonso picked up the loose ball and fired it to Villa who jinked his way past several defenders and sent a low shot past David James.

The European champions dominated a toothless England and substiute Llorente doubled their lead when he outleapt the English defenders to nod past Robert Green with just under ten minutes remaining.
Beckham equalled the record of 1966 World Cup winning captain Moore when he came on at halftime at the Sanchez Pizjuan stadium, one of five changes made by coach Fabio Capello at the break.
