Dave Watson
and Steve Coppell each scored in the first fifteen minutes to sink
Northern Ireland in this Home Championship match. England missed the
prolific partnership that had been developing between Kevin Keegan and
Trevor Brooking, and they lacked the drive and direction that had put them
so in command against the Irish at Wembley three months earlier. The
victory gave England a huge psychological advantage with a crucial
European championship match scheduled for the autumn.
