Morata extends career-best scoring streak Spain vs Malta Now netted in seven successive matches

Alvaro Morata continued his remarkable recent form with a goal against Malta during Spain's Euro 2020 qualifier in Cadiz.

The Atletico Madrid striker has now scored 17 goals in 32 matches for La Roja (an average of 0.53 goals per game), and he's now drawn level with Pedro Rodriguez and Isidro Langara as the country's 13th highest goalscorer.

Morata also kept up his scoring streak, as he's now netted in seven consecutive matches for club and country.

His previous best scoring streak came with Real Madrid Castilla and Spain's Under-21s in the 2012/13 campaign, scoring in five successive matches.

The last team to stop Spain scoring was Italy in Euro 2016, which means they've now scored in 39 matches in a row.

With those 39 games, La Roja have equalled the fourth-best scoring streak in international football history - Italy's 39 games between 1931 and 1936.

Hungary have the highest streak, scoring in 72 successive games between 1949 and 1957.
