Antoine Griezmann and Jordi Alba struck in the last three minutes of normal time to force the extra half-an-hour after Kenedy and Roberto Soldado goals looked to have sent Ronald Koeman's men crashing out.

Griezmann netted in before a Fede Vico penalty brought the sides level once again, before further strikes from Frenkie De Jong and Alba settled an enthralling contest.
