    Match Report by Mike Payne

 

    Match Report by Norman Giller

Marco Van Basten chose this European championship match to reveal to the world that he had developed into one of the great strikers of modern times. He powered Holland into the lead a minute before half-time, and then returned to the scoring stage after Bryan Robson had given England brief hope with a fifty-fourth minute equaliser. As Ruud Gullit pulled the English defence inside out with his clever running and precise passing, Van Basten decided the match with two goals in four minutes to complete a devastating hat-trick and ruin Peter Shilton's 100th international appearance. While desperately disappointed, Bobby Robson had to hold up his hands and admit England had been beaten by a superior side. 'World class,' was his brief but accurate decision to Van Basten.
