Latest PostMatch report
Spain 3-0 Italy
Isco scored twice as a scintillating Spain beat Italy at the Bernabeu to take a huge step towards qualifying for the World Cup from Group G.
The hosts started without a striker, but did not need one with the Real Madrid playmaker curling home a free-kick and then smashing in a second.
Alvaro Morata came on to add a third from Sergio Ramos' cross.
Italy, who trail Spain by three points with a much worse goal difference, are likely to be in the play-offs.
Good night
Thanks for joining us today, we will leave you with the story of the game...
FULL-TIME
Spain 3-0 Italy
It's all over. The Azzurri suffer a first qualifying defeat in over a decade. Spain are surely going to qualify for the World Cup now.
Post update
Spain 3-0 Italy
The Bernabeu is bouncing. Party time for Spain, who look back to their best.
INJURY TIME
Spain 3-0 Italy
Two minutes added on.
SUBSTITUTION
Spain 3-0 Italy
A very popular substitute both ways. Two-goal Isco comes off - at his club's home ground, and David Villa comes on for his 98th cap - his first since 2013-14 when he left for New York City.
DISALLOWED GOAL
Spain 3-0 Italy
Spain think they've got a fourth goal but Alvaro Morata was well offside from David Silva's pass.
Post update
Spain 3-0 Italy
David de Gea is able to hold onto a Lorenzo Insigne shot from distance as Italy have a rare effort on target.
Post update
Spain 3-0 Italy
Spain are just seeing this one out now. Five minutes to go.
Post update
Spain 3-0 Italy
Sergio Ramos, now out on the left for some reason, volleys a shot wide after it lands to him in the box. Both he and Gerard Pique were up in the Italy box. Mavericks.
SUBSTITUTION
Spain 3-0 Italy
Italy make a change now as Manolo Gabbiadini replaces Ciro Immobile.
David Villa gets a fantastic reception as he warms up for Spain. Not sure if he's coming on though.
SUBSTITUTION
Spain 3-0 Italy
Spain make a change, with the game already won. Marco Asensio - who was actually pretty quiet - is replaced by Saul Niguez.
GOAL - Spain 3-0 Italy
Alvaro Morata
Alvaro Morata has only been on the pitch for a few minutes and he seals the game - and probably Spain's World Cup place. Sergio Ramos charges forward down the right (remember he's a veteran centre-back and it's late in this game) and his perfect cross is slammed home by Chelsea striker Morata from close range.
Post update
Spain 2-0 Italy
This game has made up for that Georgia v Republic of Ireland dross I had to watch earlier. If more qualifiers were like this, people would object to international breaks less.
DISALLOWED GOAL
Spain 2-0 Italy
Ciro Immobile runs back from an offside position - ie miles offside - the ball lands to him and he thinks 'better kick the ball into the empty net just in case it counts'. It didn't.
Post update
Spain 2-0 Italy
Federico Bernardeschi crosses but Spain clear. The hosts break and Alvaro Morata is only denied a run in goal by a good Andrea Barzagli tackle - his former Juventus team-mate.

Sho Rahman: Remember a couple of years ago when Isco could barely get on the Madrid bench. The turnaround is sensational.
Dave Wood: Wonder if PSG will meet Iscos €700m buyout clause in January?
SUBSTITUTION
Spain 2-0 Italy
Spain scored twice with no proper striker. Well they have one now. Chelsea's Alvaro Morata replaces Andres Iniesta. Iniesta gets a fantastic reception as he comes off. In contract to Barcelona team-mate Gerard Pique every time he gets the ball. I guess scoring a winner in a World Cup final will do that.
SUBSTITUTION
Spain 2-0 Italy
On comes 40m euros winger Federico Bernardeschi, who has yet to make his Serie A debut for Juventus following his summer move from Fiorentina. He replaces Andrea Belotti, who only had nine touches of the ball.
It's a double change, as Eder replaces Antonio Candreva.
Post update
Spain 2-0 Italy
Brilliant from Spain, who almost put this game to bed. Isco, in sensational form tonight, nutmegs an Italian midfielder and plays an excellent ball through to Dani Carvajal. Only a good stop by Italy legend Gianluigi Buffon denies him a goal.
