Álvaro Morata continues to smash records. The Madrid striker's header in Palma on Saturday turned the scoreline against Northern Ireland and catapulted him into fourth place in the all-time scoring charts.
Morata is level with David Silva on 35 goals, but the Mirasierra striker’s goalscoring figures are better than those of the Canary Islander Silva, who needed 125 games to reach that tally, compared to just 73 for the Atletico Madrid striker.
The list of the national team's goal scorers is as follows:
| Position | Player | Number of goals |
| 1º | David Villa | 59 |
| 2º | Raúl González | 44 |
| 3º | Fernando Torres | 38 |
