    Match Report by Mike Payne

 

    Match Report by Norman Giller

A draw would have been a fairer reflection of the play as England stretched their unbeaten run to seventeen internationals. England survived half a dozen scares before Gary Lineker scored the match winner in the fifty-fourth minute when he rammed a Steve Hodge centre into the net off the bar. It was pointed out that England's unbeaten run was now only three less than the one put together by Sir Alf Ramsey's team on the way to the 1966 World Cup finals, and there was a growing feeling that Bobby Robson could emulate Ramsey, who like Robson had used the Ipswich manager's job as a stepping stone to the England hot seat.
