Match Report

|
England virtually clinched a
place in the European championship finals with this resounding win on a
soaking-wet Windsor Park pitch. Both Trevor Francis and Tony Woodcock
scored in each half, and the rout was completed in the seventieth minute
when Chris Nicholl turned a Phil Neal centre into his own net. Northern
Ireland's goal came midway through the second-half from a Moreland
penalty. The Irish defence had no answer to the probing runs of Trevor
Francis and Tony Woodcock, both of whom gave peak-power performances.
