Gareth Southgate secured the England job on a full-time basis but let a 2-0 lead slip in the final moments as Spain salvaged a 2-2 draw.
England took an early lead from the spot through Adam Lallana, and it was the least he deserved after his sumptuous through ball had split the Spanish defence.
Jamie Vardy looked to have lost the opportunity but he recovered enough to be felled by Pepe Reina and Lallana was handed the honour of putting England in front at Wembley.
The Leicester striker then doubled the hosts' lead in the second half with a diving header from Jordan Henderson's cross.
While the game was fairly even on the balance of play, neither side created a raft of chances.
But late pressure made England's backline crumble and Iago Aspas' stunner set nerves on edge, only for Isco to equalise with another brilliant goal in stoppage time.
