		</div><p>Alvaro Morata and substitute Iago Aspas each scored twice as Spain continued to cruise towards the World Cup finals with an 8-0 win over Group G whipping boys Liechtenstein in Vaduz.</p>
<p>Buoyed by Saturday&#8217;s 3-0 thrashing of closest rivals Italy, the visitors raced into another 3-0 lead inside 16 minutes with goals from Sergio Ramos, Morata and Isco.</p>
<p>David Silva added a fourth before half-time when he was replaced by Iago, who needed just five minutes of the second half to make it 5-0.</p>
<p>Iago turned provider to set up Morata&#8217;s second in the 54th minute then added a second of his own before Max Goppel&#8217;s late own goal completed the rout.</p>
<p>Italy effectively sealed at least a play-off place after an underwhelming 1-0 win over Israel, while third-placed Albania were held to a 1-1 draw in Macedonia.</p>
<p>It was hardly the performance required by the Azzurri after their error-strewn defeat to the Spaniards, but Ciro Immobile&#8217;s 53rd-minute header proved enough to take the points.</p>
<p>Hoping to maintain some pressure on the Italians, Albania went ahead through Odhise Roshi in Strumica, but Aleksandar Trajkovski&#8217;s late penalty for the home side left them six points adrift and ended their qualifying hopes.</p>
<p>Serbia took another giant stride towards the finals as Aleksandar Kolarov&#8217;s 55th-minute piledriver secured a 1-0 win over the Republic of Ireland in Dublin.</p>
<p>The Serbians finished the match with 10 men after Nikola Maksimovic&#8217;s 68th-minute red card while the hosts were furious not to be awarded a late penalty after Daryl Murphy was fouled in the box.</p>
<p>The result gives Serbia a four-point cushion at the top of Group D over Wales, who leapfrogged Martin O&#8217;Neill&#8217;s men into the play-off slot after a 2-0 win in Moldova.</p>
<p>But the Welsh faced a desperate battle to secure the points with Hal Robson-Kanu and Aaron Ramsey scoring twice in the final 10 minutes.</p>
<p>After Robson-Kanu headed the opener Wales keeper Wayne Hennessey produced a brilliant stop to deny Andrei Cojocari before Ramsey sealed it in stoppage time.</p>
<p>Also in Group D, Austria were forced to fight back to grab a 1-1 draw against Georgia in Vienna, Louis Schaub cancelling out an early strike from Valeriane Gvilia.</p>
<p>Two points now separate the top four sides in Group I after leaders Croatia fell to a 1-0 defeat to Turkey in Eskisehir.</p>
<p>Cenk Tosun scored the only goal of the game in the 75th minute to lift the Turks to third place with two games in the group to go.</p>
<p>Iceland moved back into second place, level on points with Croatia, after a priceless 2-0 win over Ukraine in Reykjavik.</p>
<p>New Everton star Gylfi Sigurdsson scored the goals for the hosts either side of half-time.</p>
<p>It marked a welcome return to form for the European Championship quarter-finalists after their shock reversal to struggling Finland on Saturday.</p>
<p>Also in Group I, the Finns continued their improved recent form with a 1-0 win over Kosovo in Shkoder, Teemu Pukki scoring the only goal seven minutes from time.</p>
