David Villa almost had a perfect night as a goal in each half from the new Barcelona recruit helped Spain beat Honduras 2-0 to get their World Cup campaign back on track.
A wonderful individual effort in the first half was followed by a goal forged by brilliant movement off the ball in the second.
The only thing missing was the hat-trick to crown the performance as he sidefooted wide a second-half penalty and struck the crossbar early on. The win was vital after the opening Group H defeat to Switzerland and Vicente Del Bosque's side finally looked to have settled into the tournament.
