    Match Report by Mike Payne

 

    Match Report by Norman Giller

Gary Lineker was in exceptional form, scoring the first goal in the twenty-fourth minute and helping to set up vital goals for John Barnes and Neil Webb in the sixty-ninth and eighty-second minutes. Lineker would have opened the scoring early in this World Cup qualifier but for a cynical foul by the goalkeeper as the England striker prepared to shoot into a gaping net. In today's game, the goalkeeper would have certainly been sent for an early bath. Peter Shilton equalled Bobby Moore's record collection of 108 England caps in what was his 1200th first-class match.
