Diego Costa, David Silva and Alvaro Morata all scored twice while Sergi Roberto and Vitolo also got on the scoresheet in the Group G opener.

Chelsea forward Costa had come in for criticism after a run of one goal from his previous 11 international caps, but after the game insisted he was always confident his scoring touch would return.

"I had struggled because a striker always needs to score goals but now I'm participating more in the play and I knew the goals were going to come," Costa said.
