Spain defender Dani Carvajal blasts Iran tactics

Real Madrid defender Dani Carvajal took a swipe at Iran's tactics for Spain's World Cup.

Carvajal questioned the Iranian's ambition.

He said, "Their players repeatedly went down for no reason, even when they weren't hurt, when they hadn't been fouled.

"It's hard to play against a side that sits back and defends in numbers. These are the types of games that win World Cups. They're obstacles you have to negotiate; you just have to find a way to get those three points. Now what's most important is that we go on and top the group.

"We went after the game that bit more in the second half."
