Spain and Germany will contest the final of the U21 European Championships after big wins over France and Romania respectively on Thursday.
Spain actually went behind in their clash with France when Jean-Philippe Mateta coolly slotted home from the penalty spot.
However Spain responded in style as Real Sociedad’s Mikel Oyarzabal and new West Ham signing Pablo Fornals took control of the game.
Oyarzabal was at the heart of everything good Spain did, scoring one of his own from the penalty spot and being involved in a number of flowing moves.
His link-up play with Fornals was magnificent and the pair created a number of chances including a fabulous team goal for the third.
France were unable to respond and their fate was sealed when substitute Borja Mayoral netted the fourth with well over 20 minutes still to go.
In the earlier match Germany came from 2-1 down to stun Romania with two late goals.
Nadiem Amiri had opened the scoring for the Germans with a fine strike before a double from George Puscas then put Romania ahead.
A penalty and low strike from Gian-Luca Waldschmidt then restored Germany’s lead before Amiri completed the third brace of the match with a lovely free-kick in stoppage time.
