    Match Report by Mike Payne

 

    Match Report by Norman Giller

David Platt maintained the goal scoring form that had been one of the few bonuses for Graham Taylor as England produced a fighting performance against a vastly improved Norwegian team. Paul Gascoigne stood out on his return to the international stage, and it was his flair and imagination that brought the smile back to the face of English football. A major worry for Taylor was the shot-shy performance from Ian Wright, who was struggling to produce his club form at England level. Tony Adams brought stability to the England defence that was dented only by a surprise long-range shot that earned Norway a flattering draw in this World Cup qualifier.
