Match Report
by Norman Giller |
Gary Lineker ended a goal famine that
had lasted nearly a year when he headed past the seventeen-year-old
Albanian goalkeeper in the fifth minute of this return World Cup
qualifier. It was Lineker who laid on the second and third goals for his
usual provider Peter Beardsley. Then substitute Paul Gascoigne lit up the
international stage by setting up a goal for his fellow Geordie Chris
Waddle before conjuring a magical goal of his own in the eighty-eight
minute, ghosting past two defenders and then firing a low shot into the
far corner of the net. It was a taste of things to come.
