    Match Report by Mike Payne

 

    Match Report by Norman Giller

Paul Gascoigne monopolised this World Cup qualifying match with a spectacular solo show, scoring two of the goals and having a big influence in a third.  The outplayed Turks were lucky not to concede at least three more goals as Gascoigne's passes pulled their defence to shreds. Ian Wright combined well with Alan Shearer, and was unfortunate not to break his England goal-scoring duck. Des Walker marked his fiftieth international appearance with a faultless display. He was always a thought and a deed ahead of the Turkish forwards and he continually broke up their attempted counter attacks with his quick interceptions and timely tackles.
