I'll leave you with how group A3 is looking after that one.
England need a HUGE favour from Iceland.

A really difficult game for England tonight. Tough night. Had to work extremely hard and came up against a Spain side who had a point to prove, who wanted to show what level they were at and they did that.
It was a tough evening for England, but a lot to learn from and to take into when they do end up playing against Spain again.

Yes Bonmati made a great pass for that last goal but all the England players just stood and watched her and allowed her to make that pass, in acres of space. England just weren’t there tonight.

Feeling sorry for the English players, but perhaps such a result is a timely wake-up call to freshen things up a bit with lineup changes and new strategies for the upcoming games.

After 2-0, there was a feeling we weren’t going to get back into it. Tonight we were second best at everything. We were high pressed and couldn’t get out of it. Spain were really superior in every area of pitch and we have to swallow that.

England like to build-up from the back, they like to be in possession of the ball. You also have Kiera Walsh and Georgia Stanley who want to be involved, and I’m not sure that they were enough in that first half because of the way Spain set up their press.
You want to have that element of we are going to play the way we want to play, but after a couple of times of that not working I think you take that moment of, this isn’t working, let’s get together, and try to win our second balls because physically England can compete in that midfield, they just didn’t change it quick enough.

England boss Sarina Wiegman, speaking to ITV: "A very difficult night. The difference was big. We weren't at our best, although I thought we started well. When they got into a rhythm and got the first goal, we didn't get to our strengths and they played really well.
"It also has to do with a very good Spain tonight. We wanted to harm them in the back in the first half especailly after those couple of moments that started well, we played short and harmed ourselves. We should have skipped players and we just didn't get there. We found it really hard to keep the ball. It has to do with us and also Spain.
On Spanish league finishing later than WSL: "I don't want to use that as an excuse. The facts are that Spain was a lot better.
On heaviest defeat under Wiegman: "It's really hard to see that. I felt that too. We need to stick tofgetehr and we have one more game on Tuesday to show what we can do. These are the hardest moments. We have to recover from this and show we are still a very good team.
On needing Iceland to get something off Spain: "First, let's win our game and see what they do. We have to play a good game on Tuesday and win."

England played far too much at the back. We gave Spain far too much room on the ball for them to run at us.

We have to give credit to Spain.
The way that they performed tonight, the way that moved the ball and the directness that they had.
England struggled, and that’s what happens when you come up against a top team, it’s really difficult to play against.
But it’s disappointing that England’s best spells came when the game was kind of out of their reach, but it will be a lot of learning from England from this, they will learn what it feels like to play against a team in full flow, finding the pockets and the spaces, and this will hurt.
I’m hurt just watching it. Seeing the girls and how deflated they were after the game. So they will learn from it, and have to rise up to it to put in a good performance against Ukraine which I’m sure that they will.
FT: Spain 4-0 England
Wonder what the starting XI will be like on Tuesday against Ukraine.
Would be nice to see the likes of Laura Blindeklide Brown and Jess Park get a game.

England's Keira Walsh speaking to ITV: "I just think there was a lot of areas we weren't good enough. Spain played incredibly well at home but I think there are a lot of things we could have done better.
"I don't think we were good enough but they were very, very sharp so that made it a very difficult game for us.
"It felt like they had bodies everywhere. It was very difficult to get out of our own box. I don't have solutions right now. Obviously we'll look back but right now the emotions are very high - it was a disappointing game.
"We've still got a small chance to qualify. It's out of our hands. All we can do is control how we play the next game and hope Iceland do us a favour."

As we have said multiple times on air tonight, England have performed poorly, yes, but you also have to give credit where credit is due. Spain have been near enough perfect tonight.
The way that they have counter-pressed, the way that they have kept the ball and the way that they have moved it.
England have come across a real top side tonight.
FT: Spain 4-0 England
So, if Spain win away at Iceland on Tuesday, then they will top the group and book their spot in Brazil.
If this happens, then England will have to come through the play-offs to play in the World Cup next year.

I think in the first half, they struggled a lot in the build-up, technical and tactical areas but ultimately, Spain were just sharper.
They looked sharper in every moment. They looked sharper in every duel.
Whether it is a fatigue element with it being the end of the season, I don’t know, I don't think that’s an excuse, the Spanish girls play a long season as well. Spain just look sharper.
They look more fluid and overall England will be disappointed because it was more individual moments that cost them, but Spain have been brilliant.
FT: Spain 4-0 England
I'm not really sure who beats Spain in that kind of form.

Spain have handed England their biggest defeat under Sarina Wiegman.
Spain 4-0 England
An emphatic victory for Spain as England's World Cup qualification looks like it's going down the play-off route.
Spain 4-0 England
There's a party atmosphere inside the stadium and you can't blame them.
The world champions have put on a show tonight and it's been their rivals England who have been on the receiving end.
Spain 4-0 England
I bet England can't wait for the final whistle here. It's been one to forget as three minutes of time is added on.

Alexia Putellas scores in each half to punish England
Substitute Claudia Pina completes the scoring late on
England must better Spain's result in their final qualifying match to top the group and avoid the play-offs
Alexia Putellas scored twice as Spain dismantled England and seriously harmed the Lionesses' chances of automatic qualification for the 2027 Women's World Cup.
England travelled to Majorca knowing anything but defeat would secure their spot in next year's tournament, having impressed in a 1-0 win over Spain in April.
But with only the group winners automatically going through, a commanding victory puts Spain in the driving seat with one game to go.
England had won their previous four matches and must get back to winning ways against Ukraine on Tuesday, and hope Spain drop points against Iceland, to recover their position at the top.
Two-time Ballon d'Or winner Putellas, who announced her departure from Barcelona last week, netted twice, scoring in each half.
Her first, after Patri Guijarro had given Spain an early lead, dented England's confidence in a poor opening half, and she made things worse for Sarina Wiegman's side when she reacted quickest to Lucy Bronze's goalline clearance to make it 3-0.
The Spanish superstar, who is being pursued by Women's Super League side London City Lionesses, showed why she is considered one of the world's best.
She went off to a standing ovation before substitute Claudia Pina made England's night even worse with a fourth goal late on.
England barely threatened and it was a quiet evening for Spain goalkeeper Cata Coll with the visitors failing to manage a single shot on target.
Keira Walsh's effort flew over the bar in the first half and Georgia Stanway later drove a shot wide of Coll's right post.
It was always going to be a challenge to beat the world champions in Majorca, but England were never in the battle and it leaves them facing a potential play-off route and with work to do to book their place in next year's competition.
With only the top team in the group automatically qualifying for next year's World Cup, it was always likely to be a shootout between world number one side Spain and back-to-back European champions England.
The Lionesses held the advantage going into Friday's game, having built a three-point lead at the top with their home victory over Spain.
But the four-goal win for Spain means they leapfrog England at the top, move ahead on goal difference and, crucially, have the upper hand in the head-to-head.
It means if both teams win their final matches on Tuesday, finishing level on points, Spain will automatically be through to the World Cup in Brazil.
England's hopes of qualifying automatically through the group stage now rest on Spain slipping up.
A win for England against Ukraine in Liverpool would do the job if Spain drop points to Iceland, who have proven to be tough opponents for the Lionesses.
If England draw against Ukraine and Spain lose to Iceland, that would also secure qualification for Wiegman's side.
Failing that, England will drop into a play-off route in the autumn but should be given a favourable draw given their seeding as one of the top-ranked nations in Europe.
England travelled to Majorca with confidence and clarity of what they needed to do, fuelled by the recent memory of their win against Spain at Wembley.
Ultimately, though, that was not enough.
They were without injured captain Leah Williamson, but Lucy Bronze and Lauren James were passed fit after knocks while Ella Toone returned from the hip issue that kept her out for four months and started ahead of Lucia Kendall.
However, Spain were at it from the first whistle, putting England under pressure and playing with a direct style that troubled Wiegman's side.
Patri dazzled as she nutmegged England's Stanway and drilled the ball into Hampton's bottom left corner, with a helpful touch off defender Esme Morgan.
Putellas was finding space in the box, worryingly for England. Although she had to bide her time for a real opportunity, she capitalised when it arrived, putting enough power on her strike to beat goalkeeper Hampton.
By the time Putellas doubled her tally, England were on the ropes.
Aside from a dangerous James counter-attack, the visitors could not get out of their own half, and it was substitute Pina who had the final say when she beat two defenders and slotted in.
These meetings are usually tightly contested, but this was an evening to forget for England and one that will be talked about proudly in Spain as they prepare to defend their title in Brazil next year.
While the manner of the defeat raises eyebrows and will give plenty for Wiegman to ponder, the reality is one of these giant footballing nations had to finish second in the group. Spain have taken a huge step towards ensuring it will not be them.
Spain end their World Cup qualifying campaign in Iceland on Tuesday, 9 June (20:00 BST), knowing they just need to better England's final result to go through.
England host Ukraine at Hill Dickinson Stadium on the same day (20:00 BST). Should they fail to finish top of the group, they will enter the play-off route.
