Match Report
by Norman Giller |
|
 France came to Wembley hailed as the
new wonder team of Europe after a run of nineteen matches without defeat,
but they were sent crashing by an England team producing their finest
performance since Graham Taylor became manager. Alan Shearer illuminated
his debut with a well-taken goal a minute before half-time, swiveling to
guide the ball into the net after Mark Wright had flicked on a Nigel
Clough centre. The goal boosted England's confidence, and they were always
looking the superior side in the second-half against a smooth but
punchless French team that had not been beaten for three years. Gary
Lineker, who had announced that he was retiring from international
football after the European championship finals, joined the game as a
substitute and collected his forty-seventh goal in the seventy-fourth
minute to knock the heart out of Michel Platini's highly regarded team.
Rob Jones and Martin Keown made their debuts along with Shearer.
