Match Report

Match Report
by Norman Giller |
A late headed goal by Keith
Weller at last broke the Northern Ireland resistance, after goalkeeper Pat
Jennings had pulled off a series of magnificent saves. England's defence
became disorganised when centre-half Roy McFarland limped off in the
thirty-sixth minute with an achilles injury that put him on the sidelines
for six months. The energetic Kevin Keegan clipped the bar with a shot
just before half-time. Frank Worthington made his England bow as a
substitute for Stan Bowles in the sixty-fourth minute.
