Cazorla and Alcacer both score two as Spain confirm qualification to Euro 2016

Santi Cazorla and Paco Alcacer scored two each as Spain booked their place at next summer's European Championships in France with a 3-0 win against Luxembourg. 

Vicente del Bosque's side broke the deadlock just before half time. Juanfran pulled the ball back to Pedro, whose shot was only parried as far as Cazorla and the Arsenal midfielder made no mistake from eight yards. 

Alcacer added the second after the break, latching on to a clever pass from Cesc Fabregas and rolling the ball under visiting goalkeeper Jonathan Joubert.

Nolito and Jordi Alba then combined to create the Valencia striker's second, a tap in from two-yards which he couldn't miss. The 22-year-old now has six goals in 10 appearances for his country. 

And Celta Vigo's Noltio, who only came on for the final 15 minutes, was again involved as Cazorla wrapped up the scoring inside the final 10 minutes.

However, La Roja's win and subsequent qualification was tarred by injuries to David Silva and Alvaro Morata, with both players forced off inside the first 45 minutes. 

Manchester City's Silva hobbled off after just nine minutes with what looked like an ankle injury, while Morata was carried off on a stretcher just after the half hour mark. The Juventus striker was visibly in a lot of pain. 

There were also, disappointingly, more boos for Gerard Pique. The Barcelona defender's every touch was loudly jeered early on, although they did fade slightly as the game progressed. 

Spain knew a win would be enough before the game to guarantee them their ticket to France and they never really looked in trouble against a side who had won just one of their eight Group C matches. 

Cazorla hit the woodwork early on and Morata shot wide as Del Bosque's side set about getting their work done as quickly as possible. 

The only surprise, perhaps, was that it took so long for the opener to arrive. Once it did, though, and despite the injuries to Silva and Morata, Luxembourg began to lose their way. 

By the time Alcacer doubled La Roja's lead in the 67th minute, the visitors had nothing left to give in Logroño. 

For Spain, the hard work being now. Del Bosque has a lot of questions to answer as he takes his troops to France in search of an unprecedented third consecutive title.
