Match Report
by Norman Giller |
Four goals in the last half
hour just about kept alive England's faint hopes of qualifying for the
1978 World Cup finals. Kevin Keegan had given England a tenth minute lead,
but then they became too anxious against the Luxembourg part-time
professionals. Gilbert Dresch was sent off in the eighty-fifth minute for
a foul on Mike Channon. He became only the second player sent off in a
Wembley international, following Argentine's 1966 World Cup skipper into
the black history book. Channon's second goal was from the penalty spot.
John Gidman made his debut at right-back, and Paul Mariner got his first
taste of international football as a substitute for Joe Royle.
