    Match Report by Mike Payne

    Match Report by Norman Giller

The Terry Venables era began with an impressive home win against European champions Denmark, who played without passion or fire. England were bright and positive throughout the game and their passing and fluent movement was refreshing to see after some of the more direct and less subtle tactics used under Graham Taylor. David Platt neatly steered in the winning goal with his left foot after sixteen minutes following creative work from debutant Graeme Le Saux and fit-again Alan Shearer. England's other new cap, winger Darren Anderton, grew in stature throughout the game and was unlucky not to score when he had a clever chip cleared off the line. Peter Beardsley was in peerless form as he collected his fiftieth England cap after three wasted years in the international wilderness.
