Capello happy to learn lesson from Spanish masterclass

FABIO CAPELLO is convinced England flew out of Spain last night having sat through what will prove to be their most important lesson of 2009.

Rather than Capello providing the tutorial, it was the European champions, who displayed all the craft and ingenuity which brought them glory at Euro 2008.

Although England might reflect on an early foul by Gerard Pique on Emile Heskey which could have brought a penalty and a red card, it was probably better the former Manchester United defender remained on the field.
