Match Report
by Norman Giller |
|
England over-ran an Austrian defence that had no answer to the combined
power of Mike Channon, Martin Chivers and Allan Clarke -
the 'top Cs', with Tony Currie also getting in on the goal spree. It was
Currie, Colin Bell and Martin Peters who dictated the pace and pattern of
the match from midfield. Channon scored the first goal in the tenth
minute, and Clarke struck twice before half-time. Channon and Chivers
added goals early in the second-half, and Currie made it 6-0 in the
sixty-fourth minute with a rasping shot from the edge of the area. Colin
Bell completed the goal avalanche three minutes from the end.
'England can still teach the world how to play,' said Austrian manager
Leopold Stastny. But this was a friendly. The test that mattered was to
come in the next match.
