Arsenal midfielder Mikel Merino scored a dramatic late equalizer to help Spain come from behind and secure a 2-2 draw against the Netherlands in the UEFA Nations League.

Merino, who came on as a substitute, struck in the dying minutes of the game, just eight minutes after his introduction.

The goal capped an impressive comeback by the European champions, who had trailed for most of the match.

The strike was Merino's seventh goal involvement for club and country in his last eight games, a run of form that will delight Arsenal fans.

With the Gunners currently dealing with an injury crisis, Merino's versatility and goal-scoring ability have been utilised in attack, and he will be hoping to maintain this form when he returns to club duty.
