Match Report
by Norman Giller |
Kevin Keegan
inspired England's World Cup victory over Italy, a magnificent win that
clinched the full-time manager's job for Greenwood. Keegan headed in a
Trevor Brooking pass in the eleventh minute, and combined again with
Brooking nine minutes from the end when his brilliant through ball was
coolly steered wide of goalkeeper Dino Zoff. Greenwood's boldness in
playing Steve Coppell and Peter Barnes as wide men was rewarded with some
entertaining and incisive old-fashioned wing play. Now England counted the
cost of their missed chances against Luxembourg. Italy were left needing
just a one-nil victory at home against Luxembourg to clinch the place in
the World Cup finals. They won 3-0. England were left kicking themselves
-
again.
