Impressive performance against Germany

Silva was one of the Spain players who really caught the eye in last night's game in Düsseldorf. He combined superbly with Isco and Iniesta in midfield and came close to scoring twice - in a one-on-one with Ter Stegen and later with a shot which hit the side netting. He was taken off on 71 minutes, replaced by Real Madrid's Lucas Vázquez.
