Record-breaking Spain striker David Villa hailed his side's midfield as a pleasure to watch and play alongside.

He hailed his team-mates in Wednesday night's friendly win over England in Seville.

Spain extended their unbeaten streak to 29 matches, of which 27 have ended in victory, after seeing off Fabio Capello's England 2-0 thanks to goals in either half from Villa and Fernando Llorente.

Villa's effort saw him become the first Spaniard to net in six successive internationals, but the Valencia striker preferred to praise his team-mates rather than focus on his own performance and achievement.

"It gives me enormous pleasure to have scored again and to know that I've achieved something that nobody else has done," said Villa after breaking the record he had jointly held with Telmo Zarra and Ladislao Kubala.

"But, as I always say, the most important thing is that my goals help the team and that we continue along the line we have been showing.

"It's not necessarily straightforward to score (at international level), but in a team like this, with this quality, you know that you are not going to be lacking in opportunities.

"I was a tough game, with few goalscoring chances for both teams. But I wasn't the only one to put us in charge, it was also the people who played behind me, who were superb," added Villa, referring to Xavi, Andres Iniesta, Marcos Senna and Xabi Alonso.

"First it was Iniesta who tried to give me a great pass, and then it was Alonso.

"It's gratifying to have them as team-mates. It's great to see them play.

"Once again, and against a notable opponent, they have shown their quality. It's been spectacular to see them play and see the English run after them.

"The truth is that it is a pleasure to play with them. You always expect them to give you a good ball," he said in AS.

Villa, who has now scored 25 goals in 42 games for the European champions, had been substituted by the time Spain wrapped up a deserved win when Llorente headed home Xavi's free-kick eight minutes from time.

That was the Athletic Bilbao's maiden international strike, but the night was to end on a slight downer for the 23-year-old as he was forced to sit out the last few minutes out due to injury - having only come on as a replacement in the 63rd minute.

"I'm very happy for having scored my first goal with Spain and I'd hoped to achieve this. It is the most important moment in my life," said Llorente, who revealed he left the pitch as a precautionary measure.

"I had a niggle in the final minutes and I preferred not to risk it. I decided to take care and not risk doing anything serious."
