Timo Werner scored again but was unable to inspire Germany to a win over Spain in their 1-1 draw in the UEFA Nations League.

After an even first-half the £54m (Sh8 billion) Chelsea signing opened the scoring in the 54th minute in Stuttgart with a super low finish past David de Gea to show Blues fans what is to come in the Premier League.

But Valencia left-back Gaya scored late on to grab a draw for Spain.

Elsewhere Wales secured a late win over Finland as Kieffer Moore tapped home from Dan James' cross in the 80th minute.

Gareth Bale was taken off at half-time after not appearing to be fully fit, but they managed to get the job done without the Real Madrid star courtesy of Moore's strike.
