Match Report
by Norman Giller |
Kevin Keegan
headed two goals from well-directed free-kicks only to see the Danes
allowed to pull level with two goals inside five minutes against a less
than disciplined England defence. Bob Latchford directed a header against
a post and Keegan also hit the woodwork as both teams played all-out
attacking football in what coach Don Howe later described as 'the most
exciting international match I've ever seen.' England regained the lead
through a disputed goal by Bob Latchford after the break and Phil Neal
made it 4-2 before the Danes forced a third goal in the dying moments of a
pulsating European championship qualifying match.
