UNDER 21 UEFA CHAMPIONSHIP: Spain 3 Norway 0: City target Isco helps La Roja cruise to U21s final against Italy

Manchester City target Isco helped his side move one step closer to a second successive European Under 21 Championship after capping a majestic performance with a stunning strike.

Rodrigo had put Spain a goal ahead of a dogged Norway side on the stroke of half-time with an improvised finish to steer the ball into the back of the net.

Stunner: Isco found space inside the area and wrapped the ball into the top corner for Spain's second

Star man: Isco netted Spain's second goal deep in the second half

Late in the second half, Isco wriggled into space inside the penalty area before the Malaga playmaker poked his curling effort into the top corner, leaving the impressive Norway goalkeeper Orjan Nyland Haskjold flailing.
The tournament's top goalscorer, Alvaro Morata, added gloss to the scoreline with a cool finish deep into second-half stoppage time at the Municipal Stadium in Netanya after pouncing on a rebound.
